    Can you record a conversation between people using just the watch, no wires or batteries? How well does it record, can you really hear what is being said when you hook it up to your computer? How reliable is it? Are there any reviews?
    Thanks

    I have been using this watch since it came out in Feb 2006. It records pretty well and the files are small in size. Overall, I am pleased with it. Only grouse is that the record button may be hard to activate and the red flashing light is a distraction. Otherwise fine.
