Way back in 2000, Casio released the first MP3 player that you could wear on your wrist. It had a staggering 32 MB of storage and could hold about 1 hour of 60kbps audio or half an hour of 120kbps. It looked like this I got one in about 2001 and it eventually died, but I loved that watch. Fast-forward to 2021 and out of nostalgia I bought another one. I still love it, but 32MB of storage is a bit useless for modern sensibilities. Sadly, even though the internal card reader will read and format a larger card, for unknown software/hardware reasons the watch refuses to allow anything more than 32MB of data to be sent to it. 😔 In 2022 I bought a Kospet Optimus 2 Full Android 10 smartwatch that could use custom watch faces and I'm sure you can see where this is going. I used a combination of A:M, Photoshop and a program called Clockskin to make a digital version of the watch that had all the same functionality as the original watch. pressing play for instance opened the watch's media player etc. But it also had a step and heart rate tracker and battery display that the original didn't have. Here's a shaded wireframe of the A:M model and a pic of the finished watch face. I renamed it the WPH for "Watch Phone" because the Optimus 2 is a full android phone in watch format and it's now an ACE.CO product instead of Casio.
