It’s getting cold and so I’m fumbling with my phone and other devices.
I like the idea of a large screen on my forearm, but I’m not sure how it would work. Maybe it would be cool?
I see some company tried in 2014 and probably didn’t get anywhere (see Arubixs Portal), and there was that infamous Kickstarter too
Honestly having fewer devices probably is better.
I already have an Apple Watch. That’s enough for me.
Not a device but your post reminded of how I always want very thin but warm gloves this time of year so I can use a keyboard and phone without my fingers getting cold. I try to keep my heater usage to a minimum.
Get some woolen glove liners. Thin, warm (at least for inside) and not too expensive.
Nothing.
I hate having to have my goddamn phone on me all the time, and thats in my pocket.
last thing I want to do is have some piece of shit, ad-laden security back door as part of wearable fashion.
Bit of a curve ball, but I’m a huge fan of a simple casio.
When you’re in a city or a deprived poorer area, it’s far safer to look at your watch than take out your phone.
It’s also more professional in a work context, especially in customer facing roles. If you look at your phone to check the time, people are more likely to think you’re checking your notifications and not fully engaged in what you’re doing.
Basic g-shock or the classic F91W.
The former, I’m a fan of the DW5600BB. Blacked out, minimalist, works with almost everything (even a suit), indestructible. A choice even watch snobs can respect. 50-100 dollars/euros on amazon.
The F91W comes in a few fun colours. I personally like black and gold. It’s retro, so it’s invariably seen as cool. It’s also dirt cheap. 10-20 dollars/euros.
They’ve been making them for decades. A classic. Different colours if that’s your style.
Not the same commenting user. But I have the same feelings about watches.
I would say the Casio F-91w is the classic and timeless but depending on your needs something like the Casio World Time might be more your speed. IIRC they both have backlights alarms stop watches and tell the time. With the world time tracking all the major time zones and two timezones manually set.
