Why has every smartwatch manufacturer (Apple included) refused to just sell me a watch sized phone? These things have more processing power than a gaming desktop from ten years ago. Why can't they just ship a fully fledged mobile OS, with 5G hotspot, external display support, and just provide my entire mobile experience? Instead we're left with pointless $500 step counters.
The market has said they want big screens. They don’t even make small-sized smartphones any more. You must carry that skateboard around, like everyone else.
Samsung sells watches with standalone cellular. You can get an eSIM for the watch and leave your phone at home. Seems their Gear S from 10 years ago was the first.
