Today $300 or less can buy a watch that runs UNIX, can emulate any machine in 1981 in realtime, and stream data from the ARPAInternet over a wireless connection orders of magnitude faster than any leased line.
Sounds like a €30 smartwatch I’ve seen some 7 years ago. Yep, it costed that back then. It ran Android 4.4 and even the battery was user replaceable.
I think it was called QW09.
Unfortunately, I was 10 at the time, and €30 sounded like a lot to me, so I didn’t buy it :(

i don’t care that watches used to be round because of a rotary mechanism. i want a SCREEN on my wrist and screens are square for a reason!

I mean, you can probably still get 300 different variants of that on aliexpress for less than $10
this looks cool. Particularly this rectangular screen is great.

Tell me about it. They rather hamfistedly tried to fit a rectangular design language into a circular screen and it never quite works right.
To be fair, Apple seems to have done a good job at fitting a circular design language into a square watch…
