I wear some hybrid smart watches (Citizen, Alpina) from time to time for work. I don't care about tracking - in fact I would rather not have that. The main reason I wear them is so that I can see notifications on my wrist and so that I don't miss notifications. I am usually running around with my phone in my pocket and don't always feel it vibrate and I can't have the sound on - so a smart watch fills that need.
There was a similar product that fizzled out a few years ago and there was a Japan-only Sony smart bracelet for watches. Something like the Sony would be great. But this thing seems pretty awkward unless the watch being worn is under 10mm.
So, not for me, thanks.
Not a stupid question. The movement on this is a little unique (maybe? from my experience). It is a traveler's GMT, but with a small difference. The inner circle with the arrow is set by the movement crown (4 o'clock) and rotates once every 24hours when setting the time (second position). The difference is that the hour hand can be moved in the first position of the crown, but only forward. Rotate the crown backward the hour jumps forward. It you rotate the crown forward, it has quick set date. Most traveler's I've encountered only move the hour hand forward and back, and the date is set by rotating the hour hand through 24hours. This one doesn't do that.
The 2 o'clock crown rotates the inner, silver 24 hour bezel (similar to compression diver).
