I’m the opposite. I’d love to have a full forearm device instead of a cell phone. Or at least something that could be worn on my arm and popped off - give me that sci-fi futurism.


If you search for "Android wrist phone" on Aliexpress, you'll find anything from stuff to strap your full phone to your arm to ~3" Android phones on a watch strap...

There's also one (search for Nubia) which seem to have a foldable screen.

They all look like they're at least 2-3 generations away from having something great, though...


For that reason I bought an Apple Watch SE with LTE.

But it turn out your iPhone needs to be switched on to receive Signal messages on the watch. Only iMessage works without iPhone. Also the total number of apps is disappointingly slim.

But yeah, you can walk around with a StarTrek-y device that can communicate a bit.
