I already have a watch that suits meow needs.

100 nerd points if you know what the ⚡ symbol means.

When you look at a seiko watch face, it will have a lightning bolt, or a small hurricane twist. Those are the two divisions that made watches. Daini and Suwa. They would later evolve into things you know like sII and Epson.

newer smart watches cant replicate is that delicious pixel gap.

also if you look closely its not a graphic display, its 10x4 characters each which are 5x7 pixels.

@discatte i love character lcds aaaaaaaaa

@ozzelot it has.. 2kilobytes of storage 😅

@discatte That's... several frames. Not counting the playback routines. (Though if anything can be written for this, I'd assume it would be raw assembly.)

@discatte Take a look at Bangle.js2. That display is quite high resolution, and reflective. It can emulate pixel gaps, at least one tamagotchi emulator used that to produce interesting effects.

@pavel those are neat, but for something like this you want around 400 pixels to have the gap look reasonable
