Hello,
Have you guys ever used this watch flashlight?

Hi,
This actually seems like a combination that might be useful. Is there any chance you can provide a promo code?
Also why XP-E? Seems like something more floody might make more sense for this? If you can provide a code, I’d try one.
Thanks,
Jim
Could use better execution. Like a real reflector.
Also no pictures of the led. Can’t tell if it really is a cree XPE.
pretty neat. need code please?
If it could survive multiple dunks into water, I'd consider it. All I need is something to tell the time. The stopwatch, tachymeter and alarm in my current watch can be substituted with my phone these days. Aaah, technology, you move too fast!
Sounds like fun!
Does it use a lipo-pack? I would check the waterproofness very well before wearing that permanently on my wrist.
Seems like it would be uncomfortable to use, since you would have to stick your arm out all of the time. It probably wouldn’t be good for anything more than a backup light.
Regarding arm positioning, it'd be the same as holding a flashlight (ie. typical 90-degree position with the elbow bent, rather than a straight arm).
With a handheld flashlight, you can let your arm hang straight down in a relaxed manner with the light cradled in your hand. This is what I do most of the time when hiking. But even if you hold a handheld light with your elbow bent, you can hold the light in a much more relaxed manner with the palm of your hand in a vertical position. This watch light forced yoir hand to be in the less relaxed horizontal position.
Hmm,
Was looking for something like this for a long while, to lighten up up close work, where you need 2 hands, and where you need to light your project.
Only thing I could find was surefire wristlight, but that’s waaaaaaaay over budget.
This might work for what I want, positioned on the other side of my wrist, so the light shines in between.
Might buy 1 or 2, although some review would be nice to know what I would buy.
A discount code is always nice 
I remember a topic a long time ago where a member got wristlight straps made by his wife, but never could find it again.
Hi, guys
This watch flashlight is waterproof, and since it's only 100g, you won't feel uncomfortable with it.
A combination of time and lighting, very valuable for you.
We currently have no coupon code for this product, but it's been a favorable price to you. Enjoy it!
Ordered 1.
If no-one better equipped to the task steps up and reviews it I’ll try to give a little impression when I get it.
We are looking forward to your review to share you opinions of this watch flashlight.
That’s actually a really convincing photoshop job, they even removed the green tint!
Indeed
That’s how my “HandLights”’ worked. They put the light where you needed it, in a big floody ball all around your fingers and whatever they were working on. This one (and the name-brand one it copies) would put your fingers in shadow. Not to mention that lump sticking out would clobber your thigh every time you moved your hand.
Thanks for remembering. That was me. I’d make them again (with modern LEDs and driver — which it seems will need to be custom-built from the etch to the firmware) if there was enough interest.
EDIT: I’d rather not give away another idea to be “borrowed” overseas, but if anyone wanted to DIY a useful task light, here’s a useful-looking one I just Googled.
Lol, even a bigger rip-off than I assumed.
Meh, was already afraid it wouldn’t fully function as I wanted. Thanks for confirming.
Ah well, at least it’s another light design in the collection, and might find some uses for it.
And cool to know who it was! I couldn’t remember and couldn’t find it anymore.
I received the light! Very quick!
My impression:
Setting the date & time is horrible.
I got it as far as setting the time, but before I’m able to set the correct date the screen already turns off again and I have to start all over. Tried it several times, tried to recharge the device to see if that was the problem, but it’s still nearly impossible. Looks like button isn’t always recognized, despite hearing an obvious “click”
If you want to know the time you´ll have to click the button, screen turns off after 2-3 seconds.
During the charge there is no way to see it is charging, or to know when it is finished charging.
The light has High Low strobe & sos. If you need lo you first need to click it on in HI. It is HI-LO-Off
Strobe is accessed by holding down the light button, and sos by holding time&light button, so no accidental activation.
On High and Low it shows the remaining usage time. 1:40H for Hi and around 8H for lo (manual claims 1.25H for Hi and 4 hours for lo)
For the short period I had it on me it didn’t annoy me. It’s not heavy, and 5 minutes on hi didn’t make the light very warm.
Manual claims 200 lumens on high, 60 on low. No accurate way to confirm this. I think it might be a couple lumens off.
The light has more throw than flood, it has an ugly purple color and an ugly semi-square beam pattern.

When having the light on the inside of your wrist the light does not shine where you would want it to shine. The little bit of spill does shine on your fingers, but when in very dark environments I guess the hotspot shining on your other hand is more blinding than the spill helps.
If you use it to light the way you’ll have to hold your arm stretched out in front of you, otherwise you’ll light up the side instead of the path in front of you, so a normal flashlight works better in this situation.
All in all this light might have it’s uses, but I’m not seeing them right now.
I’m not unhappy I bought the light, for the price it is a nice gimmick to own in the collection, but for practical uses I doubt I’ll ever use it.
All in all I rate it:
