I hace seen lately alot of 'smart' watches becomming avilable and are android powered & link to exsisting phone via bluetooth.

I am wondering although they have their own Android OS would they be compatible with the N900, or woud a simple program enable them to work?

Thanks

They communicate via the Bluetooth serial profile, but what they communicate with is a custom application on the smart phone.

Unless someone familiar with the watch I/O protocols (the watch dev team) creates an app for Meego, then we're stuck.

Gotcha, I was looking at the Inpulse watch, the guys said to me with simple coding in Python it could be ported over.
Unfortunatly i don't have the first clue on porting or where to start.

I have a Sony Ericsson Live View (Is about $30 dollars), and you can run python code with it.

How do you mean, exactly; "no way to pair"?
At first I thought it might be the Sony device is probably using bluetooth LE, but quick googling says it is BT 3.0 compatible.
(If it was LE, your task would be hopeless on N900 and fairly difficult on N9 as the former does not have the HW and the latter does not have the stack...)

For now N9 is able to pair with BT but without application clock is useless.

Thats definition of no luck

If it pairs, then you can probably use it. The device seems to have a published Android API (Sony Add-on SDK) available, so just a bit of reverse engineering should do the trick.
