Seiko Japan revealed an improbably big watch prototype that hooks up with your cellphone via Bluetooth. The huge display shows you that little envelope indicating that you ve received a new message, and then can also reveal who sent it and the message subject. Continuously communicating with your cellphone, the device can either make a noise or vibrate your wrist when a call comes in. Seiko says it will start shipping a watch like this "by 2007" but didn't reveal how much it would cost.

If you ask us, if you're going to wear a watch that big, you might as well just strap a full-sized HDTV to your arm.
