Why has every smartwatch manufacturer (Apple included) refused to just sell me a watch sized phone? These things have more processing power than a gaming desktop from ten years ago. Why can't they just ship a fully fledged mobile OS, with 5G hotspot, external display support, and just provide my entire mobile experience? Instead we're left with pointless $500 step counters.

- jolmg 3y agoSamsung sells watches with standalone cellular. You can get an eSIM for the watch and leave your phone at home. Seems their Gear S from 10 years ago was the first. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Gear_S https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Gear_S
- otikik 3y agoThe market has said they want big screens. They don’t even make small-sized smartphones any more. You must carry that skateboard around, like everyone else.
