▲ 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
[–] otter@lemmy.ca [S] 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Have a casio you recommend? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] asceticism@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Not the same commenting user. But I have the same feelings about watches. I would say the Casio F-91w is the classic and timeless but depending on your needs something like the Casio World Time might be more your speed. IIRC they both have backlights alarms stop watches and tell the time. With the world time tracking all the major time zones and two timezones manually set. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago* Basic g-shock or the classic F91W. The former, I'm a fan of the DW5600BB. Blacked out, minimalist, works with almost everything (even a suit), indestructible. A choice even watch snobs can respect. 50-100 dollars/euros on amazon. The F91W comes in a few fun colours. I personally like black and gold. It's retro, so it's invariably seen as cool. It's also dirt cheap. 10-20 dollars/euros. They've been making them for decades. A classic. Different colours if that's your style. permalink fedilink source parent
