Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2010-07-15

The Brando Bond Spy Sport Watch is a gadget with multiple functions: it can take photos, video with audio or record only audio. For recharges, when we do not have the computer near, we also get a power adapter and the 4Gb memory inside the watch can be also used as a storage device.

Packaging Part 2

On the left part of the watch, the left button represents the removable nut and the right one is a dummy button:

On the back, we can find the metallic cap covered by a protective transparent film, which also holds the information regarding the internal flash drive capacity:

Overall, the watch looks very nice and there is little to none probability that people will find out what secrets it hides:

To begin the charging procedure, but also maybe to unload the stored content, we must remove the nut from the left part:

The nut has inside a rubber ring to prevent water entering the body of the watch, which could, for sure, damage it:

The next step would be to plug in the provided cable and the other end to our computer or the power adapter:

When charging, the status LED will blink; if we have connected the watch to a computer, it will act exactly like when inserting an USB flash drive and will install a generic driver; right away, we will be able to access the memory inside the watch which most likely will be blank on first use. When the charging is complete, the LED will stay lit. Also, when we are downloading content from the internal memory, the LED will blink rapidly:

When we start up the watch “secret features”, by pressing the ON/OFF/audio key button for about two seconds, the status LED will show up in a purple color; after the boot-up is complete, the LED will light up in blue, meaning the watch is ready to take photos or record audio.

The audio recording can be done by pressing the audio key once, for a second; photos can be taken by pressing the Mode/Operation button, also for a second; to confirm the operations, the blue LED will blink, when taking photos, to confirm the save to the flash drive; in the audio recording mode, we have to press the audio key again to stop.
To record audio+video, while in the photo mode, we have to keep pressed the Operation button for about two seconds; the status LED will turn red and will blink to signal that the recording has started; after about three seconds, the LED will turn off.

It is important to mention that we won’t be able to record audio at all if the nut that covers the USB interface is on.

Finally, to turn off the “secret features”, we have to press for about two seconds the ON/OFF/audio key button.

The watch hides one more function: PC webcam; to activate it, we must first install the drivers provided by the manufacturer on the installation CD, then plug in the device with the Mode/Operation button pressed. Windows will recognize right away the device and the watch can be used after that in any instant messaging application, like Skype or MSN.
