Your comment made me think about a nice app for your phone. Remember those watches that tickle your skin every x minutes? A mobile app could vibrate every x minutes so that you can tell the time without looking at it.
How does PineTime Smart Watch sync the time with your mobile phone? Lemme explain how Bluetooth LE Time Sync works with Mynewt and NimBLE... And how we create PineTime Watch Faces with LVGL
Apple Watch actually has a setting[0] to buzz the time in Morse when you put two fingers on the watch face. This is really useful for discretely checking the time.
The PineTime is still an electronic gadget that you won't use for very long.
My watch takes 15 seconds to rewind each day, and 5 seconds to be time adjusted by one minute twice a week. Service is every 5 years, the last one cost me 88 €. It gets more valuable each year, and I plan to bequeath it to my son in a (hopefully) very distant future.
Thanks, I looked at PineTime and a few other programmable watches. She decided that she didn’t need an interface and wouldn’t use any function outside of the time. So I went with a Lilygo t-wristband (https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-wristband).
I suffer from extreme time blindness and one apparent solution to this is to have a regular metronome like pulse - I would love an app for say a smart watch or something that did this with vibrations!
The time notification reminds me of a screenless "watch" 10 years ago. It would buzz every 5 minutes as a supposed aid in perceiving the passage of time for various tasks.
If you're navigating with a watch on, it'll notify you of upcoming turns (either through vibrations or by making a turn signal-like noise) without ducking/pausing your music.
I just took a look at the feed (http://thetenthwatch.com/feed) and was amused that the time reference was a little Casio clock running a few minutes fast.
