Earlier this year I wrote about the development of a rather unusual camera accessory claiming to be the world’s first light-meter integrated watch and from today, Increment Labs’ LMW-V1: Light Meter Watch Kickstarter is officially live. Billed as “the first purpose-made watch for photographers,” and “the only watch to feature an integrated light meter,” the Light Meter Watch is designed to take the guessing game away from film photography.
But before I talk more about this product’s concept, I think it’s important to note that I haven’t seen or tried it in the flesh. And, as with all Kickstarters, there is a degree of risk involved for backers because you are buying into an untested product. That said, Kickstarter is a fantastic platform for allowing start-up ideas to become a reality and it was made for a small project like this.
