		mft_ on June 29, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The quest for a simple smartwatch I’ve been waiting for this for years. If it’s possible to stick health tracking features into a ring, it should certainly be possible to fit them into a watch strap. I’m imagining a standard-looking watch strap with a small display that would sit just below the face of whichever analog watch it was attached to. It could have a thin bridge joining the two sides of the strap together, running underneath the watch - this isn’t a problem when wearing (for example) a NATO-style strap.

Yep. Or even with no display at all, just the sensor package. And/or even with no watch at all, just attach it to one of the billion straps out there.

I was all ready to file a provisional when I found that smart buckle or whatever they called it.
