FSM EXCLUSIVE DEAL You have to agree that’s a pretty staggering list of features for a wristwatch – and with its own version of the App Store, that list is sure to grow. There’s already an impressive list of applications that will be available when the i’mWatch launches, including Skype, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter – and developers can create their own.
The i’mWatch will be available from September and there with be five variations of the device to choose from – yellow gold, pink gold, white gold & diamonds, black gold, and titanium. However, a watch with a list of features this long – and made from these materials – is sure to come with a pretty hefty price tag.
The titanium model is the cheapest at 599€, the most expensive is the white gold & diamonds model at 14,999€, and the other three are priced at 11,999€. For an extra 2,000€ you can also have your name engraved onto it.
