Despite my fairly extensive history reviewing and even developing wearable tech, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a device that elicited more of a “Thinking Face” emoji than the Wristcam. A dual-camera watch band that connects to and works with your Apple Watch? Hmmm.
The premise alone had me intrigued. After all, it’s not hard to imagine the possible advantages of having a capable camera on your wrist. In my mind, I was picturing a sleek, James Bond-esque gadget that was equal parts portable webcam and spy shooter.
The reality didn’t quite mirror the fantasy.
For starters: While the Wristcam is lightweight, easy to install, and, aesthetically speaking, has a nice clean footprint, it’s not what you would call “sleek.” Don’t get me wrong: It’s not obtrusive or gaudy, but it’s not invisible, either. It’s a question of perspective, really. It’s either the smallest, most inconspicuous action/vlogging cam I’ve ever seen, or it’s the chunkiest watch strap I own. As with most things, my judgment is ephemeral and largely based on the outfit I’m wearing at the time.
Of course, the lure of the Wristcam is its built-in camera—two cameras, in fact: an outward-facing 8MP lens for photos and video and a 2MP selfie shooter. Using those cameras couldn’t be easier. Simple tap commands allow you to capture photos or video, toggle between shooters, share images, and so on. In terms of user experience, Wristcam does an excellent job. But how is the image quality, you ask?
