Citizen have released the i:VIRT, a watch equipped with Bluetooth that enables you to connect to your mobile phone and reject or accept calls, and see who called you,unfortunately its not as Classy and Stylish as the Sony Ericsson MBW-100.
ESATO NEWS
The i:VIRT watch from Citizen is able to interact with your phone via a Bluetooth connection. In case your phone's vibrating battery isn't powerful enough, the watch will also vibrate and flash its lights to alert you of any incoming calls.
The watch's LCD will also display the caller ID and incomnig phone number for your convenience. Of course, this requires you to synchronize your watch with your cellphone beforehand. The i:VIRT has a memory of the last 10 calls made/received and can store up to 1,000 contacts. To recharge the watch, just hook it up to a Wireless desktop charger. This black and silver-colored watch will go on sale in Japan on the 7th next month, retailing around $140.

A little more affordable none the less! but like axxxr says not as stylish and lacking other features as found in MBW-100!

Does look very cheap and tacky...the only feature that this has to compete in any way with the  MBW-100 is the wireless charging.

I think that Citizen wanted to make sport-looking watch... But this is kid-looking watch... 
SE MBW-100 is business-looking and if Citizen will sell it as a "rival" of SE it will be very funny... How much is "that thing"? 140$? Hmm... maybe a dot should be after "4", I mean: 14,0$... That's the right price for "that-looking" watch...
