"It's more like ... see what your smart phone is doing, via your wrist. But yes, it's very similar," said Best Buy spokesperson Carly Morris.
Morris says the smart watch uses a Bluetooth connection to alert users to text messages, e-mails and phone calls.
It's available as part of an exclusive deal with Pebble Technology.
Industry analysts see wearable mobile devices as the next big thing.
