A while back (~1.5 years), I learnt of a chip being developed that was under 80c in volume, came with BLE, buzzer, touch, flash, ram, built in power supplies, display and an 80MHz ARM plus included driver circuits for analog, segment digital and full LCD displays.
The play was "a watch can't afford not to be a smart watch" (from just vibrations and auto time sync/time zone updates etc... through to full app platform capability with a touch/LCD display).
I thought this was an obvious end game for smart watches if it got traction. This chip got canned after a giant semiconductor merger (as I heard it).
