A question about Smartwatches

Lounge
1

Did they have a build in camera ?

Sometimes I’m wondering how some people are holding their arms with such a watch.

Looks a bit unnaturally

Sometimes I’m wondering about so much things.

Not that I’m paranoid.

Why was my last sim locked in a few days before I bought it and the new phone don’t ask for the sim pin is another question.

History.

I’m learning to forget.

I have no clue. I just stuck mine on the charger, so when I’m able to turn it on (currently at 0%) , I’ll check for you.

How long last the battery ?

If I actively use it for various things, not even a whole day. It’s a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, and next time, I’m going with a Fitbit.

Samsung is a cool brand, my first stereo recorder was a Samsung too

Just looking at it, I don’t think there’s a camera.

ETA: There is a camera icon, it’s just hassling me about permissions, but I think that means it does have a camera.

ETA2: No camera. Just the ability to control the associated phone’s camera.

Makes no sense at all, thank you @Happy_H

Edit

What ?!?

Really ?

The squirrels here need one I think

I haven’t seen one with a camera.

That’s probably because you have to raise your arm in a certain way to trigger the accelerometers in the watch so the screen turns on. It is not on all the time or your battery goes dead really fast. They’re super useless in that way.

That makes sense, but not whilst walking in the sunshine eg

But understandable when it’s brandnew

  1. Harder to see them in sunshine with reflections and the display not being bright enough, so you may see re-enactments of The Ministry of Silly Walks in some cases.
  2. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is or how light or dark, you still have to do the raise/flip motion with a lot of watches to get them to turn on and then frantically look at them before they turn off.

I wear my smartwatch on my right wrist for capturing health data. I don’t look at it. I have an old school Casio LCD on my left wrist I use as my normal watch.

Without looking at it.

With hanging distorted arm eg

Whilst walking.

That sounds weird. Are you sure this isn’t your illness feeding you false data?
