    Ugh, it has a microphone. Eavesdropping malware incoming. And it’s another big clonky smartwatch.

    It’s nice that it has a blood oxygen sensor I guess. And there’s a 6d accelerometer. I don’t see mention of a temperature sensor either, though with the wireless connectivity and presumed frequent recharging, I guess you can keep correcting the time.

    I still like the Sensorwatch (sensorwatch.net) better. Much more modest, smaller, etc. Runs for a year on a coin cell, has a temperature sensor which can used to correct the oscillator and give timing accuracy to within a few seconds a year, and other cool stuff.

      “It has a mic, so it’ll definitely have eavesdropping malware” is quite a logical jump to make. Everything has a mic nowadays.

        The crappy old Casio that I use now has no microphone and no wireless comms. Just an LCD and some pushbuttons.
