Despite the multi-functions of the Apple Watch, many critics
has kept asking questions regarding the main purpose but this question might have
finally been answered. Now that the Apple watch now rocks a selfie camera
viewer and video recorder on your wrist.
Developed by former Apple Watch engineer Shawn Grening, the
band features two cameras, a front-facing 8-megapixel camera and a self-facing
2-megapixel camera. Both cameras capture HD photos and video, which can be
saved to the band's 8GB of embedded storage.
According to the company, the Apple watch's on-board storage allows
for up to 30 minutes of video.
Along with band, the company has also created a unique
charging dock that can charge the CMRA band and the Apple Watch simultaneously.
That rechargeable charging dock has the ability to recharge both the Apple
Watch and the CMRA band two times each.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about the well-designed band is the fact that Apple didn't think of it first. When the Apple Watch
first launched, the first thing many analysts compared it to was the fictional
smartwatch worn by Dick Tracy, a device that had its own embedded camera.
Fans of the Apple Watch have mostly expressed satisfaction
with the device's existing functions, with most of the conversation revolving
around longer battery life and a thinner form factor in future models. But the
arrival of a dual-camera addition was probably more than any Apple Watch lover
hoped for.
Of all the Apple rumors we've heard in recent months, a dual
HD camera on the Apple Watch wasn't among them, so this product, which is
touched by someone with a genuine Apple background, will likely be a welcome
surprise.
So is this the accessory that will turn the Apple Watch from
a relatively niche device into a mainstream hit? Possibly. The selfie camera alone could be
enough to boost Apple Watch sales.
Produced by Glide, the creator of the popular video
messaging app of the same name, the CMRA will come in white, blue, gray and
black and will sell for $149 to earlier buyers and $249 when becomes available
via normal retail. Early buyers are expected to receive the device in spring of
2017.
