There’s something magical about the human-made clockworks that are wristwatches.

It’s a simple accessory with a far greater purpose than just telling time - a modern day symbol of integrity. A tell-tale device, telegraphing obvious signs that the one who wears it doesn’t have time to lose.

It used to have one function only until somebody realized that inserting a small camera inside a wristwatch could be a good idea. Who would have thought?

Today, many people can come across ads about spy gadgets, audio recorders, hidden cameras, and even anti-spy detection kits, and almost every time there’s a spy watch camera. So, let’s see why the Spy Watch is so popular and how anyone can benefit from using it.

Why Choose the Spy Watch?

As new technological advancements shape the spy industry, the spy market just keeps getting more and more saturized with interesting gadgets and spying equipment.

There’s a certain spy market overload of equipment which is instantly accessible and cost-effective. But, sometimes the quality is subpar, and it’s really easy to run into low-quality spy gadgets.

This is why we only offer devices and gadgets with essential features, so you won’t have to waste a penny on over-the-top features that you don’t really need.

The Spy Watch Camera is one of our top-shelf products. It’s a marvel of spy technology, and the sheer simplicity, practicality, and effectiveness of the Spy Watch camera is only matched with its stylish appearance.

It’s not just an enticing marketing gadget. Many people have very important reasons, mainly for security and safety, why they seek and purchase spying equipment such as this one.

The Spy Watch and Its Features

It’s all up to the manufacturers and designers to figure out which features to incorporate and leave out the rest. The idea here is to provide a cost-effective solution, without wasting too much money on obsolete features, as the material and parts can cost quite a lot.

These are the most common and most used features that a Spy Watch should offer:

  • 1280x960 HD video resolution
  • 30fps (frames per second)
  • Crisp audio quality
  • At least 2-hour battery life
  • Built-in memory card
  • Water-resistance up to 100 feet
  • USB and PC portability
  • Date/Time-stamped videos
  • Metal casing and nylon band for extra durability

If you’re choosing an all-round, jack of all trades type of spy watch, you should watch out for the essential criteria of features such as battery life, water-resistant surface, high-quality camera, and a date/time stamp

The SpyGuy Spy Watch has all the above-mentioned features, and is specifically tailored for comfort and stealth, all thanks to its nylon band and metal casing.

Not only that, but it also captures sound, and many would greatly benefit from this feature when recording a lecture or an interview.

The Spy Watch Is Built for Close Encounters (How to Record With the Spy Watch)

The Spy Watch has a meticulous design that’s suitable for close encounters. Unlike our other hidden cameras which are designed to be inconspicuous as static everyday objects, the Spy Watch goes wherever you go.

Having a wristwatch disguised as a hidden camera is probably the most flexible and mobile way for someone to record anything, without anyone noticing. Since it’s not built for long-range recording, the spy watch works best when you’re nearby the place or person you want to record.

Simply Point and Record With the Spy Watch

It’s very easy to record anything when your arm is resting on a table while you’re pointing the camera where you want it to record. It’s natural for people to touch their watch, so you won’t look suspicious. Simply aim the watch where you want to record, and press the knobs on the side to start recording.

The camera is located in the number six dot on the watch surface, and you can plan your recording angle around that. To recharge the Spy Watch, simply unscrew the knob at the center of the watch and connect it to a PC or a laptop to recharge.

How to Properly Use the Spy Watch and Its Features

To make the best use of its features, understand how it works first, and maybe learn a few tricks and situations where it’ll shine the brightest.

The Spy Watch requires a more hands-on approach, and it differs from other cameras because it gives you a certain freedom to control the monitoring. However, discretion is key, and you always have room for creativity to improvise recording with it.

Discretion and Surveillance With the Spy Watch

The main purpose of the Spy Watch is to record with stealth and mobility, and to unlock its full potential, we advise you to practice your hand motions and hitting the recording button. No need for any sleight of hand tricks. Just try to look as natural as possible and gain a more comfortable feel for the watch so you can get used to recording with it in the most discreet way possible.

Whether you’re sitting or standing, the Spy Watch offers you freedom of recording without being noticed. If you’re sitting, you can simply rest your head on your hand and aim the camera where you want to record.

Don’t Get Carried Away

The main trick is to not get caught with it. When you record, it’s easy to get carried away with it, and as we mentioned above, practice your hand motions and recording before “going on a mission”.

Also, one can never know when it’s time to record important events and occurrences, but the 2-hour battery gives you all the time you need.

These are all just common thoughts and ideas. If you already have a spy watch, you’re more than welcome to share in the comment section any tips and tricks you might have to help us unlock the Spy Watch’s full potential.

Who Can Benefit From the Spy Watch?

Anyone can use the Spy Watch - students, teachers, lawyers, law enforcement officers, private investigators, contractors, mountain bikers, swimmers - all thanks to its covert design and waterproof surface.

This, and many other reasons, hold account why the Spy Watch has been growing in popularity ever since the spy market “opened” its doors and made spy equipment accessible to everyone. You don’t have to be the second James Bond to have a need for this wristwatch disguised as a hidden camera (or vice-versa). It’s pretty popular with police departments as well.

Additionally, the Spy Watch works great if you’re dealing with bullying or workplace harassment. Office workers and students will greatly benefit from the Spy Watch. For more on workplace harassment, read this article.

Its most common uses are:

  • Recording meetings
  • Taping college lectures
  • Conducting covert interviews
  • Taping accidents/robberies
  • Catching liars
  • Taping hiking/biking trails
  • Recording harassment and stopping bullies

The Spy Watch, besides serving its purpose as a covert surveillance device, is an ardent defender of the “watches-not-smartphones” culture. The rise of smartphones is threatening the popularity of wristwatches, and we have a sacred duty to uphold.

We, at SpyGuy, strongly believe in the sincerity and style of wristwatches. Have you done your part?
