wow, amazing how much functionality they packed into this tiny case. this would be the only smartwatch on the planet that isn't comically chunky, while still giving you the two things you need (namely time and notification icons, so you can break the habit of checking your phone). I'd pay for this, no doubt, if only I could!

Have you checked out the Pebble Time Round? Pebble was purchased by Fitbit, who were in turn bought out by Google, but there is good community support (1). Recently, the original Pebble app was taken down by whoever last maintained it (Pebble? Fitbit?), so at the moment there's no iOS app. I'm using a Nokia Steel HR as a temporary measure, but it is nearly comically chunky. I can't wait to switch back - I miss the Pebble.

A huge amount of the bulk in smart watches is the health sensors and vibration motor. Can easily slim things down if those aren't required along with a big display.

that makes sense, and now that I've seen proof that it's possible to build a watch-sized smartwatch, I'm even more puzzled that not a single one is on the market
