@jun2san: yeah, if the camera is in the "whirl of the #2", then what is that hole in the center of the #6?

In any case pretty cool for some industrial espionage. All those companies who have banned cell phones with cameras are just fighting an uphill battle as cameras get smaller and smaller...

@mhlaxp: Exactly, it's as if they gave the watch to some rocket scientist to design and build, and then to a ten-year old to lay out the numbers. Wouldn't you want to make a spy-watch, a lot less "noticeable"?

DucatiGuy

@Hectorvex: Yeah as long as your hand is down there you might as well just go for it.

@likefry_likefry: ugh, meant to say, 'hey'

likefry_likefry

hay, watch this!

likefry_likefry

@jun2san: I'm gonna go ahead and say... decoy?

mhlaxp

2 gigs of me wiping my ass. This is amazing...

aliskaba

Umm.....so what's that hole doing in the number 6?

jun2san

Kind of hard to get upskirts with a wristwatch...

Hectorvex

Sadly, the goofy numbers they used to disguise the camera make the watch itself far from appealing to me, and I love that covert-y, spy-type junk. Guess I'll be sticking to my Zippo-camera for a while longer.

mhlaxp

Oh man... I don't wear a watch, so people may notice that something was up... but man, I want one. Bad.

It's not very sneaky with a (relatively) big honkin' USB port on the side; if this is supposed to be sneaky, at least include some kind of port cover or something. And the hole in the six as a decoy? Do they think the idiot at the front security desk is going to say something like, "Hey, that looks like a camera pinhole at six o'clock; let my cover that with a piece of tape so you don't take any pictures, but you go ahead and keep that USB watch and walk around this high-security evil secret headquarters." This watch would only work in an Austin Powers movie.

The hole in the number 6 is the built in led flash.
A microphone behind a glass\plastic cover is not very
effective.

@Hectorvex: No kidding. I need a shoe-cam.

TommySez

Also, odds are the 6-hole is a microphone.

"Hey, can you tell me the time?"
"Uh, no."
"What? Why not?"
"Don't want to blow my cover."

Seriously, it's a cool idea, but the execution? Who's gonna stand there idle with their watch blatantly facing outward for any length of time and NOT look suspicious?

@Raz: argh! should be $.49

Raz

"Just cover up that USB port with a sticker or plug of some kind so it's less obvious"

Yeah, let me spend $236 on a watch then use some $49 stickers to cover up a bit of it. I'd hope at that price they'd give you something to cover it up with :(

Raz

It's got electrolytes!

@A Disaster of Epic Proportions!: You could also wear the watch reverse style on your inner wrist and signal people from across the room... a lot!

qbrad

@A Disaster of Epic Proportions!:

have you ever sat at a table with your head resting on your knuckles (a la "the thinker")?

this seems like a very common pose to me (and an excellent way to get a steady shot of a room from your super sneaky timepiece)

Kricket

"Don't mind me, ma'am, just setting my watch... at knee level."

Akibake-

Mental Note: Make a shoe with spy camera for upskirts.

SewerShark

@Kricket: Oddly enough, I was in this exact pose as I read your comment. Touche, sir.

A Disaster of Epic Proportions!

@A Disaster of Epic Proportions!: You could just take off your watch and lay it on a table or something for a little while.. I do that and mine isn't even a sneaky ass camera

pardyhardy

its a pretty good looking watch too.

odnet

Why go through all the trouble of cleverly hiding the camera, just to leave the USB port so visible?

Bizarre.

abonet

Just try to bring it back in one piece,007. Right.

VideoVampire

"oh yeah thats a nice watch"

"yeah, no it looks pretty cool. yeah i see it"

"what the @$#% man i said it was cool why are you still pointing it at me?"

pevans34

And to think my old watch included the usb cable in the wristband. All it did back in the day was scream geek and store 128mb. Then again, this looks quite normal compared to the old MSN watches and the Tokyo Flash alternatives. You could easyly pass it off as just saying it was a plain flash drive if anyone even notices the plug on the side, due to the overwhelming usb jewelery market.

Now to go tie my shoes on a busy sidewalk...

hindrim

Hasn't anyone noticed from the pictures that one of the two buttons on the left side of the watch changes position, probably by sliding, to cover the port?
