A digital watch that tells the time and counts steps, with a recorder inside it. Recording is WAV at up to 1536kbps or MP3 down to 32kbps, sampled at 48kHz, to 8GB of built in memory.
About 35 hours of recording per charge and 15 hours of playback, from a 180mAh cell that charges in roughly three hours. There is an OLED screen on the face, playback through the supplied adaptor and earphones, and it is splash and rain resistant though not submersible.
No. Files are locked behind a password on the device. Without the code, recordings can't be played, copied, or deleted, whether someone picks up the watch or plugs it into a computer.
The watch listens for sound above a set threshold. When it hears voices or noise, it starts recording. When the room goes quiet, it pauses. This saves battery and storage, you skip hours of silence and only capture what matters.
Yes. The timer function lets you set a start time and end time. Choose once, daily, or every workday. The watch starts and stops recording on schedule, no button press needed.
No. It looks and works like a standard digital watch. OLED screen shows time and date. It has a pedometer and plays music. Anyone who sees it on your wrist sees a watch.
Two ways. Plug the included earphone adapter into the watch and listen directly, navigate files on the OLED screen. Or connect to a Windows computer via USB, enter your password, and play the files in any media player.
Recording a conversation you are taking part in is generally lawful in New Zealand. That covers the ordinary reasons for buying a recorder: your own meetings, your own interviews, a call you are on, dictation, and keeping a record of something that was said to you. Telling the other people is good practice, and it is what makes a recording useful later rather than contentious.
The limit is conversations you are not part of. Recording or listening to a private communication you are not a party to is interception under section 216B of the Crimes Act 1961, and it is an offence. If you record for a business or at work, the Privacy Act 2020 applies as well. Do not use this to record other people's private conversations. This is general information, not legal advice.
