Subtle Stylish Spying (And Alliteration)

I can remember a time about 10 years ago, when you’d pay $80 for a 128MB MP3 player and be amazed at how many songs you could get on it (up to 15 – woah!) and I first found out that some genius somewhere wired a microphone into a bic pen. Yep – it looked like a standard black biro when it was sticking out of your top pocket, but it was actually wired into a tape recorder in your pocket.

How times and technology change! But one thing I’ve not seen until the year 2012 is a video camera spy watch that actually looks like a watch... or rather, that doesn’t look like a watch so gigantic that anyone who sees it would know something was up. The watch in question is the Waterproof HD Video Camera Spy Watch (quite a mouthful) which, amazingly enough, is waterproof, records video and outputs in HD (it’s also a spy watch)! The watch’s descriptive title aside, the aesthetics are actually pretty decent, and there’s nothing that makes it obvious that a pinhole camera is being hidden somewhere in the mechanism.

I suppose the bigger question is what you’d use something like this for and, to be honest, I couldn’t justify getting one myself. Whilst some people might have visions of MI5 operatives sporting one of these, it’s more likely to be found around the wrists of super geeks or super perverts (or some kind of geek-pervert hybrid). So for all you super... whatevers out there, 2012 is your year – just make sure you don’t get caught!
