I don’t get it. The Watch locks itself everytime it’s remove from the wrist and doesn’t stay unlocked if you unlock the screen when you’re not wearing it then let it go to standby. So… you would have to input a pin every single time you use this contraption? Seems quite annoying compared to, you know, wearing the watch.
cant that be disabled? I think it can be
How does the scroll wheel work? Is it mechanical or it has some connection/interface with the software?

One thing the Apple Watch is missing is being able to call a Lyft or Uber. Not something I do super often but it really would let me leave the phone at home more often. Also would have liked to see a little hole in the corner to thread a loop to.
Looks like Maps lets you “request ride”, so possibly even the native maps method could work here.
This claims multi-day battery life, since wrist detection can be turned off. I’m curious to know how much of a difference this one change makes. I haven’t bought an AW because the battery life isn’t good enough for a “watch” in my book, but if it can get multiple days of life, and it’s more like a phone replacement, then I’d be more likely to give it a try.
My main reason why I don’t use my watch anymore is that it needs to be charged all the time.

I don't think all hardware needs to be take-over-the-world hundred-million-unit ideas; I think sometimes it's fine for hardware to be whimsical niche things like this Apple Watch case or Andrew McCalip's doomscroller doo-dad [1]!
