A camera is the one thing I miss when I leave my iPhone at home and go for a run. I have no idea how a camera could work ergonomically on a watch. Maybe it’s just not feasible. But it is mildly frustrating when I’m out on a run and see something interesting that I’d like to photograph.
Why can't you just enjoy that something interesting there and then? Do we really need to capture everything and share it with everyone?
EDIT: slightly tongue in cheek but curious nonetheless.
I think the most logical/useful place for a camera on a watch is embedded in the band, approximately 90 degrees from the face. I would not be surprised to see swappable "camera bands" available for future generations of the Apple Watch.
Some people have a creative impulse. They get inspiration and want to express what they're feeling or get an urge to make something. And he doesn't even mention sharing the photo.
My comment was slightly tongue in cheek as I get where he is coming from. I suppose it could be an optional feature, or a way to differentiate the product.
I love having a camera with me everywhere I go. I love seeing something weird or amazing and being able to share that with my friends or family in seconds.
There is value in not letting devices control us, but there is also value in shared experiences that were previously impossible.
