I am sorry to inform you all that this watch is junk. Do not be fooled by the amount of smoke that you see in the demo video. This watch does not produce any where near the quality or quantity of smoke that you see in this demo video. I have used it on several up close occasions where The Spectator did not even notice the smoke at all. If you are thinking about using this on stage think again. The smoke will be so minimal that no one in the audience will be able to see it. I use smoke in my routines very frequently. I own several different devices that create smoke. I have devices that I wear on my person during my routine and I also have devices that are attached to props that I can trigger remotely. I can honestly say that out of all the devices smoke devices I have come across, this is the absolute worst. When you first take the watch out of the box it looks absolutely beautiful. Then you find out that you have to hook up all of the parts that make the watch work correctly. After you've got everything hooked up and you put it on it is the most uncomfortable thing you could have on your wrist. The parts that you have to hook up to the watch that are supposed to be hidden under the watch band can be seen by Spectators if you are not careful. In other words wearing this watch will limit your ability to move freely without giving away that you are wearing fake watch. Furthermore, when you are using the watch to produce smoke it will make noise. It is not a lot of noise but if you are trying to do a trick for a spectator and it's quiet they will hear a hissing/ sizzling sound that is coming from your wrist. One of the reasons I bought this watch was so I could produce smoke from my hands while wearing a short-sleeve shirt. While using the watch for different groups of people I have come to the following conclusion. If you are wearing a short-sleeve shirt and you do an effect where you generate smoke near your hands The Spectators are going to try and figure out where the smoke could possibly have come from. Spectators are not stupid they know that you cannot make smoke come out of your skin. Let's say for example you were going to do a bent coin routine. When you make the coin bend in your hands and smoke suddenly starts to come from your hands The Spectator will try and figure out where the smoke came from. I can tell you that most Spectators will come up with one of the following conclusions. They will believe that the smoke either came from the coin that you bent or that it came from the giant black watch that is on your wrist. If you hand out the coin to be inspected and they see that it is not a trick coin they will immediately come to the conclusion that the smoke came from your watch. I've had a couple Spectators ask what kind of watch I had on and even asked me to tell them what time it is. The screen on this watch does not light up or tell time it is simply a piece of glass intended to resemble the appearance of a Smartwatch that is not displaying anything on the screen.

In conclusion, I would not recommend buying this extremely expensive prop. I currently own and use mystery smoke. I can tell you that you can SILENTLY produce smoke from your hands, while wearing a short-sleeve shirt, and have absolutely nothing attached to your wrist, with mystery smoke. I will admit that the setup for mystery smoke is much more complicated than simply wearing a watch on your wrist. The reason I bought the smoke watch was because I was hoping that I could eliminate some of the complicated set up that I have to use with mystery smoke. Please trust me when I tell you that mystery smoke Works 10,000 times better and costs much less.
