I would love a round watch that uses an analog face but can still buzz me with notifications and do Apple Pay (or Google Pay). I’ve found ones that meet the first two but not the last one. I use my watch to pay way too much.
I think Garmin has some watches that fit.
Skagen had these kinds of watches with their Hagen line. Ran on a standard battery for nearly half a month. You could set up notification groups so that the watch would buzz and the watch's hands point to a specific hour.
hang on, standard button cell? if so then half a month is less than stellar, that could get expensive fast!
I researched what kind of battery it was: CR2016, some kind of Lithium battery.
And boy, what a brain fart: I meant half a year, so six months. It's been a few years since I used that watch regularly, but I was impressed with the endurance of that little battery.
yeah holy shit that’s actually really impressive. that’d only be like $3 a year if you did the replacements yourself!
