So do you open Settings... General... Bluetooth... Bluetooth ON...... and then put on your headset to take a call?
Unless you have Android, then it's a swipe and a press.

$115? It's cool, but there's no way I'm going to pay that much for something like that. I mean, I can just feel the iPhone vibrate in my pocket.
Guys, this is not a new concept....check out im watch...its color and touch-capacative...oh yeah and text capable too

Seriously what am I missing?

In the video he demonstrates the supposed 'usefulness' of this phone whilst washing the dishes. So he's putting an electronic gadget pretty much in a disaster zone, how long in a 'real world scenario' would it be before the phone gets accidentally dipped / dunked into the dishwater and breaks.
Really, who cares about Kickstarter projects? Most of what ends up on it is the kind of stuff you see on inventor shows, like New Inventors on Australia's ABC.

I am not saying that these products are necessarily bad ideas, but that most of the time they don't find a market for whatever reason. Getting some money on Kickstarter is little more than a glorified variation on Facebook "likes."
Some money?
It's over 4 million US dollars.
That's nearly 4 million of our dollars.
Either way it's a big fat pile of cash. I think it's a great way for people to get their products to market.
So....
1)It's always using Bluetooth and communicating with my iPhone 10+ hours a day so I'm thrilled to be getting all that exposure 1mm away from my skin.
2)This thing is really just a 24hour vibrating device....sheeez...all it's going to do is just vibrate forever given all the "alerts" it can handle.
3)And what's the range on Bluetooth anyway? 30 feet on a good day with the wind blowing? I hear my iPhone vibrating on the counter much farther away than 30 feet....or I just leave it on a chime mode...or gosh golly I leave it in my pocket so I feel the vibration.
Lame and pointless.
I voted you down for writing for shoving an apostrophe in "days" for no reason.
Just kidding, I voted you up, but you do suck at apostrophes.
You are missing a few things, such as that it can be used as a bike computer via the GPS data from your phone, or that it can be updated with further functions as they are also releasing a free SDK and a "marketplace" of sorts.
Also, a) the watch is waterproof (so safe for doing the dishes) and b) you can keep the phone up to 10 meters away, which should be sufficient to avoid dropping it in the sink.
Yep, I can't wait to read the news, view pictures or play games on a one inch screen.
Not.
I have to disagree with the BT on = bad for battery comments.
I have BT on my iPhone 4S on 24/7, and run audio books through my car's BT for an hour to an hour and a half a day, Combined with other normal usage and no battery charges in between, I get to around 40 percent battery by bedtime. But of course, phone usage can affect that. If you are the type that spends hours a day on your phone, or doesn't want to charge every night, then it may not work so well for you.
glance at your wrist. Go on. See, took just a moment and felt completely natural.
you get a notification, quick glance and you can see whether you need to respond to it or not. No need to go and get your phone (or fish it out of your pocket) and unlock it. Maybe not a big deal, but it could add up over the day.
Or check caller ID before answering on your BT headset.
Oh, and it tells the time.
if it also had an alarm clock function that worked with the iphone off, that'd be even better.
