BETTER IDEA, LEFT AND RIGHT INDICATORS

But your hands already have an indicator. Your left hand makes an L.
Yeah but then when I see a backwards L I don't know what the fuck's going on
It means they are reversing obviously.
WAH
It means they are reversing obviously.
just for arguments sake let's pretend i got no thumbs on my left hand. what then
You remember which hand you Lost your thumb(s? Igor?) on.
okay i gotta think up a better argument you're right
But if he’s entirely right, how can he tell which of his hands is not the right one?
holy shit thanks
I legitimately used to know a woman who would benefit from wearing this.
My sister would.
She's a surgeon btw
Happy 420 lol
I whack my hands on shit daily, that would become expensive pretty quick.

honestly looking into it this looks sick as hell

While I'm not a fan of the leather implementation, I have to both agree that it's a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics, and it does look pretty cool. I think it might wear out faster, being exposed to the gripping area of your palm, though. I'd expect it to be difficult to wash your hands or handle dirty/sharp items.
I would immediately smash it on a door frame
I got a Garmin for that reason. Couldn't tell you how many times I've whacked it on stuff.

Same
I have to both agree that it’s a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics
This has to be trolling. Like, no, it's not, unless you prioritize accessing the watchface and functionally nothing else in your day-to-day life. (This is even just accounting for ergonomics – and assuming this is achiral and can be transferred easily to the right hand (edit: wait, no, it's chiral; even less ergonomic) – not how conspicuously stupid it looks.)
Glancing to look at your watch is not that onerous even when done relatively frequently. Literally what could your day-to-day life possibly be that this is more ergonomical?
I think it would screw with the mobility of your thumb. That thing would be shifting all around if you used your hand.

It’s just goth aesthetics for nerds. And somehow doing it with a smart watch makes black metal gauntlets look less silly.
Actually, no, it looks stupid and is stupid. Hands carry all sorts of dirty bacteria. Those watches won't last. Maybe that's what they want though.
When was the last time you wanted to have a little pebble under your watch strap? Let's wash dishes! Na!, my watch! Digging? Nah! My watch! Sex with a partner? Nah! Watch marks! Sex alone? ER watch strap stuck to penis! No!
Not for cooking, not for motorbiking or driving unless you like cuts on the little webs between your fingers. This is a dumb idea.
I do think it looks pretty cool...but what about washing your hands? That's the main issue with it I'd think.
Looks kinda neat, but also has big LOOK AT ME vibes. Not to mention the issues the other commenter mentioned regarding wear and hygiene.
I could see it being useful for larger devices a user has to interact with constantly to free up and reduce strain on the hand though.
At this point just extend it down to ur wrist and call it a carpal tunnel wrist watch.
Genuinely neat idea but you'd need it to be flexible, maybe a glove with a flexible display and the power at the wrist.
Washing your watch has never been easier

That's a WATCH!
It's modeled after a WW1 pilots watch. And those were chunky bois:

(They just took a pocket watch and brazed on lugs for a wristband)
I actually really like this, and it won't slide down your wrist or hug it too tight either
A perfect solution to a non existing problem.
until it hits your hip/pants/pockets/handbag with every step
Why not wear it on the inside of your wrist?
Its easier and more discreet to check, you don't need a complicated new setup, and you won't have any issues working with your hands.
I know some people do this already, and flip it around depending on the setting. Inner wrist when walking around, and regular placement when working at a desk.
Unless I'm getting whooshed here
Just what I need in my life! MORE easily accessible screens to help fuck up my brain chemistry
