Please watch the video and read the FAQ:
http://www.CameraRemoteWatch.com/
Open the phone app "Camera Remote Watch" and adjust the camera view.
On your watch: open the app "Camera Remote Watch" and tap the Camera button to trigger the camera shutter on your phone.
The photo will be stored in your phone photo gallery and you can access it with the iOS "Photos" app.
A copy of the photo will be shown on your watch, so that you can check if it looks good or if you should take another picture.
Please make sure that the watch and the phone are connected before starting to take pictures.
The Fitbit phone app "Sync" step, shown in the video, is very important. Don't skip it and make sure that the watch app Camera Remote Watch is closed during the Sync.
Please be patient when downloading the new photo (the Fitbit is slow). If the watch display goes black during the download of the photo, just tap the watch screen to switch the display on again.

Ratings and Reviews
I hope the developer responses to this.
Why 3 stars.
I took a gamble on the £2. I have an iPhone 6s and an iconic.
I read the reviews and downloaded the free iconic app first. Weirdly it Anita worked. It worked enough I bought the iPhone app. I did read the review and I had the same issue. I watched the video and followed it and it resolved my issue.
However it is clunky. The video on the developer website is rubbish for sound quality. It needs a voice over and subtitles.
It is incredibly slow and clunky (I may have mentioned it) but this verses the remote which I lost? The remote win... until I couldn’t find them.
Hoping this review will encourage the developer to work on this.
However important notes.
A. You do not see any live image on the iconic.
Only the click to start shutter on a default 3 second thing (don’t see how to adjust that - needs an easy to see setting option in phone app or iconic app) so you will need to mentally count the 3, and it will eventually show you the picture it took as a mini pic on the iconic screen so totally not the end of the world m. But would pay up to a fiver if it could refine things.
3 stars because it did manage to take a picture and yes I did follow the video instructions at https://cameraremotewatch.com.
Look forward to seeing any updates and developer feedback.
So overall
* for taking a picture remotely
* being cheap enough to take the gamble
* for having website instructions
* much harder to loose than another button gadget
- for very slow and...
- very clunky system
- for lack of ability to modify default setting/etc
- because when you pay I expect to see developer responding to app feedback reviews.
This may be iconic specific but thought my review may help someone.
Works well on my iPhone and Garmin Forerunner 245
This worked really well on my iPhone and Garmin Forerunner 245. I figured it was only a couple of GBP and it works really well. Used this to take a picture of my pet rabbit who is a bit skittish.
Avoid, doesn’t actually work
States it’s compatible with Vivo3 but although the app runs it cannot connect to the watch. Waste of money.
