The Zihotch retro phone watch can not be used as a mobile phone or a bluetooth watch. It is as good as a normal watch but includes some fun with the retro dial plate. In order to know the time you actually need to dial 117 everytime, and it will then speak out the time to you through a speaker. Wrong number dialed will result in giving you this “We are sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service, Please check and call again…” You can also dial a specific number to set a wake up call.
