CASIO's first Wrist Camera model, which went on sale in the year 2000, was the world's first wristwatch type digital camera and was equipped with a monochrome CMOS imaging sensor. The year 2001 saw the introduction of new models that records images in 16.77 million colors, which can be transferred to and viewed on a computer. Images on the Wrist Camera LCD appear is monochrome, however. The compact, lightweight wristwatch configuration of all the previous Wrist Camera models made them instantly popular as imaging devices that are literally always "on hand."

Now the WQV-10 and WQV-10D take the Wrist Camera to the next logical step with a reflective-type color STN LCD monitor screen that lets you view images on the spot in 4,096 colors. A CASIO original power saving design makes it possible to extend the amount of operation provided between battery changes. The timekeeping and calendar screens of the WQV-10 and WQV-10D are also color, which means you can select from among six different color patterns. You can also use different colors to specific dates, which helps to remember anniversaries, birthdays, and other special occasions at a glance. The WQV-10 and WQV-10D also come with 2X digital zoom, which lets you enlarge images on the monitor screen. Enough memory capacity is provided to store up to 100 images, and an IR data communication system makes it possible to exchange images with a computer or another Wrist Camera quickly and easily. All of these features and functions come packed in streamline metal case that creates a high-tech, elegant design.
