We are having coffee in Düsseldorf, trying Meta glasses, and the conversation starts producing more ideas. Recording what we see. Talking about AI. Thinking about what another kind of interface could let us build.
That is the energy in this video. I say the glasses make me feel more creative. It is an impression from an experiment, not a measured increase in creativity or proof that buying a device produces better ideas.
Then the conversation turns to Apple Watch: what about a daily tracker that is easy to use without taking out your phone?
The tracker is an idea discussed in the clip. It is not an app I demonstrate as already built.
What the hardware changes
A phone can already record ideas. What interests me here is whether a different device changes the moment of capture: looking at something and recording it, or making a quick entry from the wrist before returning to the conversation.
Ray-Ban’s official documentation describes photo and video capture using the glasses’ button, and voice capture when the relevant voice settings are enabled. It also describes a visible capture indicator.[1] Exact features depend on the model, software and supported settings; the clip does not establish a complete specification for the pair we tried.
Apple already offers Voice Memos on Apple Watch for personal recordings.[2] That is an existing tool. A custom tracker that turns entries into a particular daily workflow would be a separate product idea. Apple’s design guidance emphasises brief interactions and targeted actions on the watch, which fits the question we are asking.[3]
A small test before a big purchase
Here is a hypothetical comparison, not a benchmark of either device. Suppose you want to capture five ideas a day. If your present method takes 20 seconds per capture and another takes 5 seconds, the difference is 15 seconds each time: 75 seconds per day, or 8 minutes 45 seconds over seven days.
Those timings are invented inputs for the example. Measure your own before using them to justify a purchase. Faster capture might matter to you, but eight saved minutes do not tell us whether the ideas were useful, whether the recording was intelligible or whether you ever returned to it.
For a real trial, use something you already have. Record when an idea appears, whether you capture it and whether you turn it into anything. Try the alternative under similar conditions. Notice failed recordings and interruptions too, instead of counting only the moments when the new device feels exciting.
The creative work still comes afterwards
The glasses can record a moment. They cannot decide which part deserves an article. A watch can make an entry easier. It cannot decide whether the habit you are tracking is worth keeping.
That is why I connect this experiment to creating every day. Capture gives you material. Reviewing, questioning and making something from it are different steps.
And the people around us remain people, not automatic content. Make recording clear and check before sharing an identifiable conversation. A small camera should not mean a smaller amount of consideration.
What excited me over that coffee was the invitation to try something. Keep that curiosity. Then give the idea a test it can actually pass.

Hypothetical timings: 5 × 20 = 100 seconds/day; 5 × 5 = 25; difference 75; 75 × 7 = 525 seconds = 8 minutes 45 seconds. Reproducible example. These are not measured device results or creativity scores.
