Casio's new Bluetooth-enabled watch could herald a turning point in the timepiece sector, according to an expert blog.LatestGadgets.co.uk said that no longer will people be using their watches just to tell the time, they will have far more important things to do."Casio has just unveiled plans for a new watch that will be Bluetooth low energy enabled using recently developed technology allowing it to communicate with our smart phones. All new smart phones will shortly carry Bluetooth low energy wireless technology allowing them to pair up with networks of other devices," the author said.It added that once the Casio watch is paired with a smartphone it will be able to maintain the correct time, notifying the wearer of incoming calls or emails, while also giving the opportunity to set phone alerts or alarms through a single button press.Recently, Nike and TomTom unveiled a new watch which links via Bluetooth to a sensor in a running shoe to log data when out on the track.

Tokyo Flash watches, one of the long-standing bastions of weird and wonderful wristwear, may be challenged by a new competing range from an all-too-familiar source.Slashgear detailed the new editions of Casio watches released in conjunction with Riki Watanabe and none other than Tokyo Flash themselves, which aim to please again with a less-standard approach to timekeeping.The website explained: "The Casio range includes a re-release of their 80s Databank watches, only now in some eye-watering colours - together with the endearingly-chunky Casio Cubic Puzzle 3171."Using bright blues, reds, pinks, oranges and greens, the range has a certain retro look about it, though will undoubtedly be a lot easier to read than some of the wild offerings from Tokyo Flash.Earlier this month, the Tibida LED offering from Tokyo Flash gained praise from Walyou, which explained that its stylings were, much like other offerings by the company, "promisingly futuristic and cool".
