Rumor surfaced on a bluetooth enabled Wrist Watch, apparently in development by Seiko. Story and photo originated at WastedBrain.com. Lots of other sites like Engadget and Gizmodo picked up the story.

Seiko actually already showed a bluetooth enabled Wrist Watch in 2001 and again in 2003. I cannot find a source other than WastedBrain for the new Seiko bluetooth Watch Photo. See below a photo from the 2001 version.
IXI a maker of wireless device infrastructures has a press-release in 2003 describing a bluetooth enabled Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII) Wrist Watch.
So far I would say the Seiko Bluetooth is comparable with the Samsung Wrist Phone story. Those Gadgets surface every other year and somehow never become reality.
