SureFire Wrist Light

[militarymoron]

if i wore one of those on my wrist, people would mistake it for a strobe.

I would love to hear someone explain that one to their wife?

Just slid an E1B on my watchband. Brighter, cheaper, and it tells time!

Per Surefire, you're supposed to give your handheld to the small child you leave all alone at the entrance to a dark alley before you track down the perp that frightened him with your fancy wrist light.

I spend enough money on silly stuff as it is. But if they were to incorporate that light with a decent watch? Maybe team up with Suunto and stuff it into a slightly thicker Core? Two separate batteries, one for the watch functions and one for the light. I bet they'd sell a ton of them if they did something like that.

I think it's great that they're trying to push the bounds of how we interact with illumination...but I don't see them selling many of this.

I don't buy anything from surefire on priciple.

But I'm making an exception in this case!

you mean this time you're not buying it because it's stupid???

Holy shit!!!!!!!
I think they've jumped the shark on this one.
It is a cool gadget, no doubt, and probably technically impressive (180 lumens is a lot out of a small unit like that), but $500 is a lot of ammo, training, etc.
I'll pony up Surefire cash for stuff that no one else can compete with - like their X300 series of lights which have no competitor in the same league. I am very curious to see how many people buy this.

My initial reaction: Finally My Chance To Be A Buzz Light-Year!

Else, I have an old BlackHawk wrist rig that will do this with any one inch barreled light.

Wow!

I'm sure glad Surefire pushed this gem out ahead of say, the DM2, which would be much more useful to a wide variety of potential users.
