![]() ![]() The first lets you scroll through recent captures using the click wheel or simply swiping, and it’ll also pull in thumbnails from the Wristcam even if you caught them using the physical button rather than the watch-as-viewfinder method. It is built around four pages which you swipe between Gallery, Stills shooting, Video shooting & Chat. The Wristcam watch app takes a few moments to get used to, but after that it quickly becomes second nature. Wristcam specificationsįorward camera: 8MP, sensor 7.5 x 4.37mm, FOV 71˚, ƒ/2.2 When you connect the power, the Wristcam uses the more energy intensive WiFi protocol to upload the full resolution images to your Apple Photos collection where, thanks to the metadata, they seamlessly slot in next to anything captured with your phone. Instead it is stored in the Wristcam’s 8GB internal memory with a preview provided on the app. When you capture a photo or video the full detail isn’t immediately transferred to your watch or a nearby phone.

This feels like a chore at first, but adds only a moment to that of keeping the watch powered up, both can charge at once, and of course the Wristcam has a limited drain on the Watch. To facilitate charging, the box includes a power adapter with dual USB sockets, so as to supply power to both an Apple Watch charger and the supplied Wristcam charger. This only bothered us on a couple of occasions over the course of a few weeks of testing, but it would be nice if a version of the device with more generous proportions existed.īecause the watch can’t share its energy – the strap connectors don’t carry data or energy – the Wristcam must be charged independently, and this is achieved via a proprietary magnetic connector. The slight irritation is that the core unit doesn’t have and real flex, and even though the device is supplied with two straps – longer and shorter – the Wristcam can feel a little tight on a chunkier wrist. The clear advantage of the design is that both camera lenses can be recessed and protected while it is still a simple task to remove the core and wipe the inevitable dust accumulation away. This means Wristcam can offer a number of colors, all in a matt rubber our sample was black. The Wristcam is, apparently, made from a similar silicone as the more modestly priced straps Apple offer with their watch but closer examination reveals that the device itself is made of a firmer plastic and contained within the flexible strap.
