That's... actually cute. My hatred of smartwatches aside.

Really? Is it less invasive that other smartwatches?

I mean I know its silly to worry about smartwatches being privacy nightmares when I have a phone with me 24/7. But still I don't like 'em

Fyi smart watches don't have to be invasive, install gadgetbridge and the watch won't ever be able to connect to the internet and gadgetbridge can intercept all data coming from it
