See through Hybrid Watch!

[kieranswhite]

I'm pretty sure i heard Luke or Linus mention this on last weeks WAN show!

 

Luke Mentions his idea at 13:05 in the WAN show! I guess he can see the future  See this link: https://youtu.be/EK_K7IFP7Zo?t=31m5s

 

 Seems pretty interesting because the notifications are shown over the top of the standard watch face meaning that if the "smart" part runs out of battery the watch will continue to function. Seems like an interesting concept to me!

Edit: Seems like there are a selection of watches already on their website . Source: https://kairoswatches.com/watches/

google really needs to make an android wear thats compatible with the M series soc or some one needs to make a soc with single core A5 and a low power GPU like what powerVR made  at 16nm

ooohhh yeah unless they somehow got the hardware to fit into a smartband or something

I like the concept, this is the sort of smartwatch I would go for if I could afford it, however I'm still going to give smartwatches a generation or two before I get one. At least unless I can get one for cheap.
