More than a year since then, both were announced Mens Watch MBW-150, a review of the sports version of a site, in principle, they are identical to the other two modifications, with the exception of the strap. I've used, and sports, and Executive versions, impressions were not very positive, the very first watch I wore a very long time, I have already visited them three pieces, and now going to get a fourth (in one store they are sold with a terrible discount, are little more than three thousand). Amateur hour is not, but liked the MBW-100 design, a certain massiveness, plus they did not remind unnamed hours of transition - and a good glass, and steel firm. Already in the MBW-150 appearance ceased to be unusual, yes, quite large, "overweight" clock is nothing particularly attractive. With regard to MBW-200, then the rumors about female lineup went a long time and embodied in life recently. It was rumored (again they are), which together present a clock with some phones, but phones were left behind. In general, we will not pull the cat's tail, and talk about the clock.

Design, construction

In fact MBW-200 is a smaller version of the 150th model - a round face, not so massive, thick, but still too big for women, it was noted by all the girls that I have demonstrated enhancement. No, I know there are women in the world who love and watch the massive, massive and phones, but among my friends none was found. Watches are available in three versions, changed the strap color and design of the dial, some of the other Circuits, but in general version Sparkling Allure (white belt), Evening Classic (black belt), Contemporary Elegance (steel bracelet) as similar as two drops of water. I'm not the target audience, but I liked the model with a white strap and steel bracelet - the first you like this, the second business, a version with a black strap seemed to me just no, boring.

In any case give a full description of the differences in design:

Evening Classic

• Black dial with crystal decor
• Black detail on crown
• Black leather bracelet
• Stainless steel clasp
• Stainless steel case
• 60g weight

Contemporary Elegance

• Display with crystal decor stone
• Red minute hand
• Pattern detail on dial
• Brushed stainless steel bracelet
• Double security clasp with stainless steel folding blade
• Stainless steel case
• 60g weight

Sparkling Allure

• Rose gold rim with crystal decor stones
• Rose gold hands with white fill
• Mother of pearl look 'carbon fiber' texture display
• White crocodile leather bracelet
• Chrome finish polish on case
• Rose gold clasp
• Weight 60g

Size hours - 37.3x39.6x14 mm, they weigh a little over 60 grams, our electronic scales showed the result of 61 grams. For comparison: my wife's favorite watch is Swatch, which I have long asked her to change to something else, but met with fierce resistance. They look very simple, but subtle, weightless - about 20 grams. It is clear that the weight of its MBW-200 is not arranged, though the version with a steel bracelet, too, relished. More to say, if the MBW-200 slightly increased, they are already quite descend for men. In general, I will not impose my opinion, everyone (or rather, each) will decide on their own, he needed an accessory or not.

Another issue is that they work exclusively with devices from SE, I mean they can skip the time and so, but the functionality will be implemented only with the "parent" machines. Accordingly, the purchase is justified only for those girls who have a phone from SE, - is another limitation. Plus you have to be gadget freaks, to spend a considerable amount for such addition, I believe, less than three hundred euros they will not be worth it.

And I really like it when companies make fun of the already mentioned gadget freaks who need a 3,5 mm jack and a bunch of other things, and yet we are seeing already the third reincarnation of Bluetooth-hours, which are generally not clear for whom intended (I do not count).Where is the need to laugh, and where - to cry?

Charging, time

Hours need to be recharged from time to time, a full charge takes about three hours, the contacts are on the cover from the back side, put on the adapter, connect it to the charger, the clock indicator lights charge. Mindful of the experience with the MBW-100, 150, I can say that one charge is enough for more than a month or more. Then no problems, everything is fine.

Functionality

Functionality is identical MBW-150, you can read a review on the site, I wrote and pro sports, about the Executive version of operating experience Sony Ericsson W980i. Hours I had a couple of c W902, the connection is no problem. With the help of accessory you can control the player (volume, jump to the tracks on the track, Play / Stop), call (reset incoming call), shown on the display incoming SMS, phone number or name from your address book (hammered in Russian contacts are not displayed ), the clock vibrate when an incoming call, as well as if you withdrew from the apparatus at a certain distance. The latter can be turned off, which is good - sometimes the vibration is strongly lacking. Ligament MBW-200 + W902 + IS800 works well, no problems - a sort of wireless kit obtained. I remember a year ago, I used MBW-100 + P990 + DS200, just nostalgia.

Add there is nothing special, do with hours can be a lot of things useful, especially good this can be felt in winter, when there is no need for pulling out of the unit or headset to rewind.

Conclusions

Do you know what I think? And I do not think that MBW-200 will be sold in us, here I do not understand, or all the hours available to them to give employees and partners, whether in order to demonstrate to other companies for something. If we talk about first, then partners such gifts are appreciated. If a second - it is better to draw the same attention to the phone. In theory, the clock should be on sale at the end of the year, the price has not been declared, I do not know why I have fun, but also the MBW-150 to the counters have not reached, although orders for distributors are available. Apparently not in the horse feed. And not in consumers, and we conducted a study for one company over the accessories, and several thousand of those who voted very categorical about the fact whether they will buy Bluetooth-watches. And the price there was very democratic - a hundred dollars, still the idea of ​​Voters sent for scrap.

Another question - how do the girls need such an accessory? I'd venture that is not needed at all because of reasons described above. Look at the official pictures, look at how to look at the hand of a girl-mulatto (or African-American, I do not know) watch with an iron strap. The impression that she begged to have her boyfriend - "Give boilers drive. Hours are large, and this is their main problem.

Finally - a question in the air. Why develop something that is not for sale? Well, if there is one model in the line of accessories, but why are they there now six? Should I wait option for teenagers? And again I ask: Why make fun of gadget freaks, with one hand without giving consumers what they want, and another - slipping unnecessary?
