i don't believe you would need anything more than black and white (or maybe like 4-bit grayscale) and a bright red to make a good watch display. you're not showing photos on a 1" screen. you want to convey information quickly and unambiguously with maximum readability. black, white and red, high contrast and bold. this is like remedial-level user interface design.

if it worked for the nazis, it can work for a smart watch

there would be inevitable virtual boy comparisons

4096 colors should be more than enough to make a decent interface though, especially considering ios' aesthetic nowadays

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
i have an inexpensive and simple looking skagen

it's nicely designed and it tells time, pretty much the two things i ask for in a watch

the farther away you are the cooler it is

having something within a watch pick up a signal thats over 1700 mi away is cool as gently caress

i dont like wearing watches. i like having as little things on me like that as possible

if i ran into more situations where knowing the time would be handy, i might consider it, but i don't.

wearing a watch would be like waering a gold chain, unnecessarey and conflicting with my brand

im really good at guessing a certain amount of time. like i puta totinos in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes. usualyl i get off the couch right before the 1 minute timer beeps so i can get the ranch out of the fridge and get a pizza cutter and a plate and then the oven dings.

or like if im mkaing velveeta dip and i turn on the mircowave for 2:30 i know w/o looking at the microwave that its about to be done
