8G HD 1080P Night Vision Waterproof Watch Camera 1920*1080 30FPS

The watch itself is built pretty well. Has a nice heavy and durable feel. I have no problems with the quality of the product.

The real problems begin when trying to use it. The 2 page folded piece of paper is comprised of broken English that will leave you guessing. But after a few attempts to record and watch the video I created, it became apparent that the instructions were just too long and too many steps. I rewrote my own instructions (see below).

The biggest problem, after figuring out which buttons to push to make it work, is hooking it up to your pc. The first time, it worked like a champ. Second time I plugged in, it did not recognize the watch's drive. The ONLY way I can now get this to pull up and work is to use the Devise Manager and delete the 'unknown device' that is listed and click on 'Scan for Hardware Changes'. Usually after doing this repeatedly, it seems to finally come around. I can work with that, although not ideal.

I have a college degree in Computer Information Systems and understand Windows 7 very well and am quite experienced. If I have trouble, I feel sorry for the folks who buy this and don't know much about USB Ports and Drivers or how to 'refresh' using Device Manager. You will be stopped in your tracks if you are a general computer user. But maybe my advise will help.

Now, here are my new instructions on how to get the watch to record video. (it does record audio as well by default).

Initialize Camera & Start Recording:

Press and Hold Reverse 2 Seconds

Red & Blue lights on simultaneously.

Red light will turn off. Blue light blinks 3 times and turns off.

Stop Recording:

Short Press Adjust Blue light blinks 3 times, and while blinking...

Press Twice Reverse Blue light stays on

Turn Off Camera & Save Recording:

Press and Hold Reverse 2 Seconds

Red light will flash 3 times.

Now Ready to plug into your PC.

PS. There is no brand or company listed on the packaging or instructions. How can it be UL listed without ownership info, etc..? I think this is a dark black market for these Chinese goods. It doesn't even say what country it was made in. It probably came right off the street in China and smuggled over here. Who knows.

And if you are wondering, the indicator lights are not on during video recording. They do go off, so you can be a real spy!

(+) Amonst secret cams, this product is one of the easiest to use and good quality. It has a USB cable to connect for charging and file transfer. Once started recording, all leds are dimmed. Night vision can be turned on and off seperately. Shooting quality is good, although not as clear as HD. Also the watch itself looks OK, except the GSHOOK brand. It has water proof caps to cover the mic and usb socket

(-) User manual has typos and terrible English, which would confuse you a lot. Night vision is very weak, it can max illumunate close objects around 50 cm (20"). It overheats when shooting, but also its a sign that it continues shooting. On top, i shot 3 videos, at the end only one was recorded, i dont know what happened to other 2.

This is a nice looking watch. It does say gshook instead of gshock but you can't really notice it unless you pay attention. Some people might notice though. I bought this cause my friends and I surf so I thought a water proof cool looking watch might be nice to shoot some videos and also let me know how long I've been out in the water. I don't know how waterproof it is cause I never got far enough to try it out in the surf. The camera doesn't work well. The video quality is ok. Not what I would call HD. I tried it out a few times and it seemed to work well. After the first day it started to jam my computer up when I would delete the videos. Then I tried plugging it and my computer wouldn't recognize the device. I always use the safely disconnect option on the computer so it's not like I just unplug it. Sometimes I couldn't get it to unplug safely so I had to turn my computer off to unplug it. Anyways a headache of a product and doesn't work consistently. Next time I'm going with a real action camera.

Firstly, it's not the same as the watch in the picture. Similar, but not the same. This doesn't detract from the product, though.

Secondly, the instructions are garbage. Accurate instructions are as follows:

Charging: Lights will blink until fully charged. Once charged, lights go solid.

-To turn on, hold reverse for 2 seconds. This places the watch in standby mode. Solid Blue light is on.

-To begin recording, press reverse once. Lights will blink and go off.

-Recording begins with IR on. To disable IR function, hold adjust while recording for 2 seconds. Red lights will blink and go off.

The reason I gave this 3 stars instead of 4 is because the recording gets very sluggish and jumpy after about the first 2 minutes of playback. This watch is great for extremely discreet recording. Turn it on and let it roll and no one will be the wiser.

I was able to get all features to work once I figured out to plug the long USB pin all the way in. The video is not bad for a tiny cam, but has a purple haze.
