DoCoMo launches Wristwatch phone
26 March 2003 -- PMN -- NTT DoCoMo has launched Wristomo, a PHS mobile phone which can be worn like a wristwatch. The device has a greyscale screen and is capable of sending e-mails and browsing mobile internet sites.

Several watch companies and handset manufacturers have shown wristwatch concept models over the last few years, but NTT DoCoMo is the first network operator to offer a commercial product.
