Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a wrist watch phone adapted to be worn by a person. The watch (10) comprises a communication module (20) adapted to operate under Global System of Mobile (GSM) telephone networks, to work with quad frequency bands, and to send audio data across said GSM telephone networks. It also has a display adapted to display time, and to provide a graphic interface for showing a status of said communication module. The watch shell encloses the display, and the communication module. The watch has strips for fastening around the wrist of the person.
