Even in the hypothetical maximal fully built out ultimate version, what was this device supposed to be able to do that a smartwatch with a voice assistant couldn’t do?
I’ll admit I don’t know much about apple products, but I can’t find any reference to a camera on any apple watch. It’s not mentioned on the spec page or in any reviews I can find. It would also make features like remote camera kind of redundant.
Could you show an example of one of these smart watches? I use a garmin vivoactive and it most definitely does not have a camera, and is their premium line. It’s 5 years old now, but the new models don’t have it either.
Sorry, i deleted my comment like 10 seconds after posting because i googled it and saw i was incorrect. A few years ago Apple added a camera APP to the watch that remote controls your phone camera, but didn’t actually add a camera to the watch. I misremembered, my bad
I think the general concept was to be a Star Trek communicator badge from the TNG era. And more a tech-fashion object as opposed to having to lug around a pocket computer.
I like the concept in theory, as I’ve grown tired of smartphones, (and I contributed to the smartphone’s very design and existence) but execution is flawed/too early.
Better than the AI pin, yes. In general, no. Smartwatches are crippled by manufacturers’ desire for them to be parasitic off a phone. Moreso however, they’re too physically small to have a large enough antenna array to have reliable cell service. Google, LG, Skagen, Apple, Samsung, and more, I’ve tried them all. Mediocre to use, and terrible battery life. OG Galaxy Watch 46mm running Tizen came close though.

Most smart watches don’t have cameras so Machine vision-y things.
Obviously the pin is way off from where it would need to be for that to be useful though

Fair enough I thought I was taking crazy pills for a bit there!
Hah nah, you were totally right

Edit: spelling, d’oh!
Then just get a smartwatch, it does the exact same thing but better
