Apple Watch Should Add a Built-In LED Flashlight (Like Garmin)

[dragon4ever]

I really wish Apple would consider adding a real LED flashlight to the Apple Watch, similar to what Garmin has done on several of their models. Before anyone says it, yes, I know the Apple Watch has the “flashlight” feature that turns the screen white at full brightness. It works in a pinch, but it’s not the same. A dedicated LED is far more practical and efficient. Walking the dog at night, finding something under the couch and navigating a dark room without waking others. It’s one of those features you don’t realize you need until you have it. Please!

Do you want the Watch to be larger, or the battery smaller? One of those has to happen. But hear me out, you could carry a small keychain flashlight with you when it's dark. A five pack costs $6.

Using the screen as a flashlight is good enough for the one or two times a month i ever want to use it.


I for one do not want a dedicated LED taking up space and reducing battery size, screen size, etc. Just get a little torch for your house keys as above.
