The concept is valid the execution is wrong. Same with Apple or any others that have been previewed.

The design should be a 3”+ wide band with an OLED flex screen. It needs wifi, a basic camera and bluetooth. Gauntlet like design.

These peviews are silly. My concept would of course be more expensive at first but if you are going to do it do it RIGHT!

So you have to charge it every night???? A watch should be dependable. Watches today don’t need to be charged every night.

No thanks.

I’ll hang on to my 1965 Omega Sea Master self-winder with calendar. Still works just fine.

Looks a hell of lot better than that windows thingee.

It probably has security flaws that require constant updates every other day..............
