Wrist Watch Camera Now with Color Display

camborg writes "Casio announced (in this Japanese Press Release) a new version of the famous wrist watch camera, which goes on sale in japan on the 23rd of November. The new model features a STN 4096 color display to directly view the color images on the wrist. The watch has a bit updated look and feel. Everything else is pretty much the same as the WQV-3 series color wrist camera. No release date for the USA yet. Photos of the watch can be seen at http://www.i4u.com"

great, now we can get our exotic dancers [camborg.com] in full (arright, 4096) colour...

Now what's a compelling reason to own one, again?

Jpeg 176x144 resolution, something about 115,200 link speed (sounds like serial to me.)
unimpressed.

until it runs a trinary non-clock based system and has 9 megapixel resolution, and oh yeah, makes coffee, then I'll pass.

But damn, it's cool...

Warning!

Do NOT give this watch as a gift to any farm vetrinatrian you know. The shutter button is too easily triggered if you know what I mean.

Tristan: "Seigfreid, come take a look at this photo on my wrist watch.."
Seigfreid: "My god! Is that Mr. Crowleys cow?"
Tristan: "I'm afraid so. I nip back out there and lance that abcess right away."
Seigfried: "And while you're at it, you might want to tidy up your watch - it's a bit rancid."

You mean like this gadget?
