When Samsung released its first smartwatch in September 2013, the Galaxy Gear featured a 1.9 MP camera. This was found along the top of the wearable's wrist strap. But this is a feature that you do not find anymore on Sammy's wrist-worn connected devices. And while the Apple Watch does not ship with a camera, an accessory such as Wristcam adds two cameras (one that is aimed at the user and the other at the outside world) to the Apple Watch via a special wristband. The Wristcam accessory adds cameras to your Apple Watch right now Priced at $299, Wristcam will allow you to make a video call but not through the FaceTime app. The world-facing camera weighs in at 8 MP while the self-facing camera is backed by a 2 MP sensor. Both sensors employed are made by Sony. If you are intrigued with the idea of having a camera on your Apple Watch but are not excited with the prospect of having to pay extra for it, being patient might soon pay off if Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech, Mark Gurman, is right. In the latest edition of his Power On weekly newsletter, Gurman says that Apple is looking to add cameras to its Apple Watch Series and Ultra models. Similar to the tech giant's rumored plan to add a camera to the AirPods, adding the technology to the timepiece will help the Apple Watch understand where it is in relation to the outside world allowing the user to employ the Visual Intelligence feature as a way to receive information. The Visual Intelligence feature is available with the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 series and via the Action Button on the iPhone 16e, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The latter two models will receive the feature with the iOS 18.4 update.
