    Special features :
    - It's a camera on your wrist!

    Weak points :
    - The camera is very low-tech (but it's part of the fun!)

    Casio HighTech watch :
    Casio VDB-1000 sensitive screen watch
    Seiko weird watch :
    Seiko DATA-2000

    Together with the Nokia 9110, this forms a complete James Bond set!
    This is certainly something i've been dreaming of since i was a child! Well, the picture quality is not that impressive, but it's so exciting to have a camera everytime!
    Casio did a really good job, including the IR communication ability and the power management in the package. Apart from the picture quality (640*480 65535 colors would be better, of course!) and a few limitations, mostly due to the power management, the unit is real fun!
    Maybe my only real regret is that the lens isn't right in the center of the unit, making it imprecise to target a mid-range subject.
    Apart from that, here are the next improvements i suggest : zooming abilities, larger picture definition, color pictures...For no extra cost, please!
