It's getting cold and so I'm fumbling with my phone and other devices.

I like the idea of a large screen on my forearm, but I'm not sure how it would work. Maybe it would be cool?

I see some company tried in 2014 and probably didn't get anywhere (see Arubixs Portal), and there was that infamous Kickstarter too

I miss my Pebble. :( I have yet to find an adequate replacement since it died.

Same, I have the Amazon gts 2 and it's alright but it's not the same. Thinking of getting the PineTime next but the firmware was a bit underwhelming last I checked.

Same! After mine broke I bounced between Samsung and Garmin before landing in a feñix 6 pro sapphire. Battery life is amazing. Watch faces are configurable and Garmin has an application that allows you to build your own faces if you have the time/inclination. And it's damn near indestructible. Going on 3 years daily wear and it still looks like it could be new. Check out the black Friday deals.
