▲ 62 ▼ What kind of wearable device do you want? Assuming it will work and feel like you imagine it would (lemmy.ca) submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by otter@lemmy.ca to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 97 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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. I see some company tried in 2014 and probably didn't get anywhere (see Arubixs Portal), and there was that infamous Kickstarter too

Thinking of getting the PineTime next but the firmware was a bit underwhelming last I checked. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kilted_cyclist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Same! After mine broke I bounced between Samsung and Garmin before landing in a feñix 6 pro sapphire. Battery life is amazing. Watch faces are configurable and Garmin has an application that allows you to build your own faces if you have the time/inclination. And it's damn near indestructible. Going on 3 years daily wear and it still looks like it could be new. Check out the black Friday deals. permalink fedilink source parent
