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

    What do you use it for? I use a Garmin watch that shows me notifications, does sleep tracking, tracks workouts, and lasts two weeks on a charge.

      My 235 is almost 10 years old, I get a week on a charge still of notifications (events, texts, alarms, reminders) sleep tracking, HR. An hour workout with GPS takes it down about 20% now. Recharges in about 45 minutes from 50%.

      Almost every watch I’ve seen since has worse battery life, with the same or less functions other than a color touchscreen. I’m happy to skip that to get all the rest of the battery life. Also Garmin is a pretty strong corporate player in protecting user privacy and data.
