Neat.

I remember making the old style box cameras and actually made one out of a film canister.

Had to use black tape on my finger for the shutter because the exposure time was 1sec or so.

This watch, like the canister camera is a neat toy but not really practicle.

Dunno if it could be increased in resolution and size, and maybe a memory stick added for image transfer it would be even cooler, but would still be just a neat toy of no practicle value.

The opposite is true now with digital cameras, than with "normal cameras"... consider that you can delete images from a digital camera and not from normal ones.
I forget if the question was asked here or over at arstechnica, but could we be losing our histroy (in images) because of digital cameras?

Think about it for a second, what photojournalist out there might delete by accident "that one photo" they hope to capture? With a film based camera you "have to wait" and then "judge the shot".

Neat toy, nice shiney object, bet it eats batteries like there is no tomorrow tho..batteries I'd wager that you can only get from the manufacturer.
