Even in the hypothetical maximal fully built out ultimate version, what was this device supposed to be able to do that a smartwatch with a voice assistant couldn't do?
Most smart watches don't have cameras so Machine vision-y things.
Obviously the pin is way off from where it would need to be for that to be useful though
I'll admit I don't know much about apple products, but I can't find any reference to a camera on any apple watch. It's not mentioned on the spec page or in any reviews I can find. It would also make features like remote camera kind of redundant.
Could you show an example of one of these smart watches? I use a garmin vivoactive and it most definitely does not have a camera, and is their premium line. It's 5 years old now, but the new models don't have it either.
Sorry, i deleted my comment like 10 seconds after posting because i googled it and saw i was incorrect. A few years ago Apple added a camera APP to the watch that remote controls your phone camera, but didn't actually add a camera to the watch. I misremembered, my bad
