First Images: BlackBerry Watch is FOR REAL!
Remember that story about a Bluetooth BlackBerry Watch accessory being in the works? In case you were doubting it, today we can say with certainty that it's happening, it's getting announced soon, and what you're looking at above (another image below) are actual renderings of the real deal. Key features we've been told so far about the BlackBerry-connected smartwatch by our source:

• it has been designed specifically for BlackBerry from the ground up - developed by a new BlackBerry-dedicated accessory company
• it features an OLED screen that we hear is "big, bright and beautiful" and optimized for displaying text clearly, and thanks to OLED has solid battery life
• it's designed to show you notifications and previews of messages arriving on your BlackBerry
• judging by the filename of the photos as they were sent in to us, we're thinking it's going to branded the inPulse smartwatch

The intent of the watch isn't to replace using your BlackBerry to view messages. Rather, it's for those occassions when your BlackBerry is tucked away - while in a meeting, while driving, or while you're out for a bike ride and you feel it vibrating in your camelback. When you get that impulse to stop what you're doing and pull out your BlackBerry, now you can quickly glance over at your inPulse and decide if you need to pull out your BlackBerry to address that message now or if it can wait fifteen minutes you're free.
Definitely a cool accessory. And because this smartwatch is desiged specifically for BlackBerry, we're thinking hoping that at somepoint the watch APIs will become available to BlackBerry app developers so even notifications from third party apps could be displayed. CrackBerry heaven! We'll bring you more on this when the official details emerge.

In concept this a lot better idea than a watch phone. I think it would make more sense to try and incorporate the tech into regular watches instead of these goofy looking things.

i have to agree, it looks like one of the $5.99 specials from walmart back in the early 90s when digital watches were the shit..... what ever happened to digital watches and the built in alarms and velcro straps..... kind of miss them haha
