In which case, you might like the eInk screen on the Watchy. I reviewed it at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/06/review-watchy-an-eink-watch-full-of-interesting-compromises/

Screen is always on but eInk gives it great battery life. Although the rest of the watch is even more experimental than the USB-C one ๐Ÿ˜†

Hah. That's the kind of weird I can get behind, but I definitely wouldn't want it to be the default.

Also I'm not sure how I feel about the possibility of the watch dying and it getting stuck on giving you the wrong time. I guess it's how old analogue watches worked, but there's something to knowing when your watch is dead.
