Apple details radical new features for the Apple Watch.
Another design places the camera on the rear of the watch. In this case, Apple envisages the user removing all or part of the watch from their wrist in order to reveal the camera and take pictures. This could be made more practical by using some sort of quick-release mechanism rather than having to unfasten the whole watch strap. This option raises fewer privacy concerns but is obviously less convenient for taking photos.
Such watch-based cameras may appear to be of limited practical use, but several competing examples already exist, as dofor the Apple Watch. This shows that there is some demand, at least, for cameras in a watch Furthermore, Apple envisages its watch cameras having multiple functions, such as detecting the movement of physical controls like the digital crown or measuring physiological data such as heart rate.
Regardless of photographic quality, or the lack of it, the more the Apple Watch is able to sense its surroundings, the more useful it will become, perhaps in new ways we have never envisioned. The other side of that coin is that we may have to get used to there being many more less-than-obvious cameras around.
