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 Huawei buds smartwatch lasts a good week. It’s the gps when i go mountainbiking and walking that drains it quite a bit.

        I saw a mrwhosetheboss video going over the Huawei tech we’re missing out on in the states and their smartwatches really impressed me besides the small stuff like lacking an app store on them

          I have to be honest, my first and only smartwatch before this one was the watch 2 i think it was called. I bought it used and the battery was only good for a day or a day and a half tops. It was also slow and not very responsive, so i was truly blown away by this one. Always having emergency earbuds on hands is really nice too, although i haven’t used them as much as i thought i would. I don’t know about the app store thing, because i have all i need on it pretty much stock. Now in hindsight i would’ve probably been better off with one of those ink screen watches where the battery lasts a month or so. But otherwise i’m very happy, i wear it every day.
