Manual shooting is lots of fun but you need to get your shutter speed, exposure and other settings right. A light meter is used by many pros to get exposure readings to help you make the right adjustments. The LMW-V1 is a wearable light meter that you can use to take readings anywhere. It gives you readings at the push of a button. This watch helps you understand how light shifts in any setting.
This watch has a silicon photodiode sensor angled at 45 degrees for light sensing. It uses a red backlight that is safe for darkrooms. The LMW-V1 has an anodized aluminum case and a leather strap. It has a shutter release button too. So what are the benefits of something like this over app based light meters? This watch uses a sensor that is made for photography. You can also access this watch a lot faster. No need to attach this to your camera either. You can find this project on Kickstarter.
