That's an idea. Maybe you could hang it so it appears in the top corner somewhere. Any kind would probably work, the flash from the camera should illuminate it enough to read it

If that watch ever blows in the wind though the camera is going to fire....Also the lenses on the watch might give you some wierd flash feedback or something.

pound a tall spike nail (6" at least) into a 1 foot long piece of 2x12 wood. Put an arrow on top of it with a sharpie marker and point the arrow north in your yard using a compass, and over the course of a day mark where the shadow of the nail falls on the board each hour. Then bring it into the woods and set it within view of the camera and point it perfectly north again. Now you have a sun dial that will indicate time fairly accurately as well as be cheaper than a clock. You also know it won't move and set off the camera. [8D]

Or after you download the photos, just right click them and check their properties. It should tell you there when the photo was created.

Ditto. But I have yet to capture anything but myself on either one of mine.[:@]

I also really don't like the slow trigger time or 1 minute delay.

Anybody want a pair of Wildview .3mps cheap?
