I've gone through serveral spy watches that I've got from ebay already and they've either never worked or stopped working in a few weeks. Thus, I am not spending big money anymore on one. Intsead, I figured I would look for a decent cheap one that will get me through my coursework. This one, which I got for $50 was a great deal. I read the reviews and found that most agreed that this was the best spy watch for the money, but not the best in quality. Good enough for my needs!
I've used it severeal times now and I really like it.
Pro
- the instructions manual makes it very clear on how to use it. There is a flow chart showing all the modes it switches into by pressing different buttons. It starts up in standby mode and there are 2 buttons: one takes a photo and the other starts a video recording.
- it doesn't look too flashy to start off a conversation to discuss what brand my watch is.
- In video mode, the light flashes to show what status it is in and disappears in 2 seconds. Very smart feature to hide the light
- the time actually works
- compatible with my PC and widows Vista
- takes pictures in 1600x1200 provides fantastic snapshots for my coursework
- the battery lasted 2 and a half hours on my last video! My old spy watches would die in 1 hour.
Con
- the plastic wrist band can be irratiting when you sweat. It sticks to the skin. I loosen it up if I get hot.
I'm not expecting much, so I'm delighted that it works and doesn't fail.
