    Thats not niche so much as made up. If you wnt to take photos you take your photography device. I understand the same could have been said about digital cameras and phones twenty years ago but that was merging techs, this is sparating them.

    The watch will have a significantly worse camera so it would not make sense to take it specifically for photos.

      If you don’t want to carry your phone, I don’t think you would want to carry a often heavier photography device. Besides that most people don’t have a specific photography device.

        This is my point, if you want to take a picture bring your photography device. Be it your phone or camera.

        If you want to take a picture and decide to leave one or both of your photography devices at home - you dont want to take a picture.

        A watch with a camera is going to remain inferior because it is a smaller form factor fulfilling a very similar role. Anything that could be done to make the watch camera better could be better utilised in a phone. Making the case that if you wanted to take a picture, you would bring the more capable device.
