Fossils launches Bluetooth Caller ID watch
Fossil has launched two bluetooth enabled watches. While this is not a bluetooth headset replacement (which would have been a really cool secret agent gadget) the Abacus watches will vibrate to alert you of incoming calls and SMS messages and will display the caller ID.
Both watches seem to have the same functionality, but one has a metallic wrist band, whereas the other one has a plastic band - a question of personal preference I guess. Owning one of these will set you back around $200.

Great way to check incoming calls without being rude.
Good for meetings etc…
