Digital Camera Wristwatch

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gettin-all-james-bond-and-crap dept.

MikeyMars writes "Casio has released a new watch that, aside from telling time, can take 80 full color pictures. " The watch itself only displays in grey, but the camera takes color pictures. Its not like its doing 2 mega pixels or anything, but its still pretty nifty.

      How about banned in the locker room. Your mind obviously doesn't work like mine. :-) Oh yes, I will like to wear my watch in the shower.

      Yum.

      schools too.....

      During an exam, stretch your arm up into the air and back. Manipulate your hands and wrists such that you can seruptitiously snap a photo of the paper behind you. Then look at your watch and quickly clear the photo before the proctor sees it. If the proctor asks why you're looking at your watch, you were curious to how much time was remaining.

      Then hope & pray the teacher isnt using multiple exams, and that the guy behind you knows what he's doing.

      Umm, considering most places segregate locker rooms based on sex (if yours is different, please let me know where it is and how much), your suggestion is pretty sick and twisted.

    You know that people will be wearing this to the strip club. 80 pictures should be enough to get a pic of every girl there. :)

    Now here's something useful for a change... just imagine the potential this thing has to change your dating life.

    Let's set the scene: You're at the park with your new girl, watching the moon rise over the horizon, and things start gettin' a bit steamy. You're past first base, rounding second, and sure you're gonna get to slide into home.

    Only trouble is, you misread the situation, and your girl decides you've had enough for the time being. What's a guy to do?

    No worries, mate... you've got that watch! Unbeknowst to her, you were snapping photos faster than a Microsoft web server being compromised. Later that night, you kick back at the PC, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    Yep, it's useful all right... ;)

    Did anyone else get a really odd mental picture of pluggin in a 25pin serial cable to the side of the watch, and then remember we have infrared these days?
