Casio Bluetooth Low Energy Watch Prototype Has 2 Year Battery Life [Casio]

Casio isn’t the first company to aim to attach an eye fixed to a smartphone, but I’ve got high hopes in regards to the prototype they’re showing off this year. Its new Bluetooth Low Energy system promises a battery life of two years.

The watch just does a couple of things-that’s just fine by me. I don’t need a watch to switch my phone, just augment it. Pressing a button on the watch to prevent the phone in my pocket from ringing? Ok.

But the still-nameless Casio prototype also weds its alarm functions in your phone, shows incoming email alerts, and syncs up to the phone to set its own time. It’s not anything revolutionary, but knowing Casio it is going to be inexpensive.

The only downside? It won’t work with existing phones, none of which support the recently ratified Bluetooth Low Energy standard. That is definitely a Next Year Experience.
