Very cool. I'd prefer Sharp's memory display which uses power like ePaper display, but looks and works exactly like a traditional LCD with high refresh rates. And bluetooth/etc is not a feature, but a bug IMO; goes against the philosophy of F91.
- ncmncm 4y agoBluetooth is a good mechanism for configuration, even if it is wholly turned off during normal operation. Forcing all setup to go through the needle's eye of a couple of buttons is profoundly limiting, and a wired connection would violate F91 design esthetic more. A transparent back for the watch, and optical components, could open biomedical opportunities. There, Bluetooth readout of logged data would be useful.
