Waterproof wrist camera makes no sense

wristcamera.jpgThis is a waterproof wrist camera. It straps to your wrist, captures 56 minutes of video with sound at a paltry 512x384 resolution as well as stills. And, as you can see, it's waterproof.

OK, in what situation would this be useful? Really now. It's strapped to your wrist. How often would that yield appealing results? I can't imagine ever needing anything like this. Why not just carry it in your pocket, or around your neck, or in any other way? I deem you too stupid to exist, waterproof wristwatch camera. Especially for $140. Come on.

Um... Gee, I don't know, when would I possibly want a waterproof camera that wasn't in my way dangling from a string and that I had easy access to? Hmm... I wonder, what underwater situation could I possibly be in that would warrant taking a picture with a camera such as this?

It's for surfers that need to have their hands in the water paddling not holding onto a camera.

well i guessadam frucci has never riden on a motorcycle.or a bike. when theres a "kodak momment" it doesn t wait for you to get your camera out and remove the lens cover.and it certainly doesnt care if its rainning or snowing or sleeting which can ruin aexspensive camera.he appeartly has never been caught in the rain.
