This is one of those things that seems like it has a high gadget desirability potential on the surface, but I really can’t see replacing my existing perfectly functional (and probably significantly more durable) smartwatch with this. I already have one of those credit card sized pocket oscilloscopes. I can’t see any need for a device more portable than that. Even for the purposes of just showing off to your nerd friends, you’d only ever really be able to do that once per nerd, and then what?
I’m quite certain I was rocking an OG Pebble smartwatch in 2013. In fact, the Pebble’s low power usage screen was probably the inspiration for the screen on this thing.
I definitely don’t need this but I want it so bad.
You just want to play Doom on it. We know.
You read my mind. That was my first question. Microcontroller? C? Ok yeah it can run doom for sure. But e ink? It’d look terrible…

Why have I never heard of this
Bam.
To be fair, it’s bigger than a credit card. But you get the idea.
If this was kickstarted 10 years ago, Smartwatches weren’t nearly as prevalent back then.
