I am very interested. I'll look into that, thank you!

Edit from Fossil: We are no longer selling smartwatches.

Phooey!

If I could get a classic dumb watch with just the ability to vibrate when my phone gets an alert, I’d be soooooo happy.

I still kick myself for not getting one of the first Kindle models that had free 3(4?)G built in.

It was either you or Tildes.

I went with Tildes originally, but their admirable effort to only encourage long-form discussion works against growing a user base to be anything more than a Petri dish; people need those fast dopamine hits!

…that and they’re invite only.
