I can’t remember who made it, but some years ago before the big smartwatch boom, someone put out a watch that had a standard mechanism, but also a tiny one-line screen that would show information like texts to you. That seemed like a good middle ground. But I don’t see a lot of watches that fit that middle ground anymore.
And they’re awesome. Battery lasts weeks on a single charge, works like a watch should, tracks all sorts of things and gives you silent notifications like a smart wearable should.
Proper watches >>>> wristphones

Withings and then Nokia had this one. Looks decent
That might be the one I was thinking of.

isn’t that just a pager?
Only really high-end pagers showed texts and you didn’t have the convenience of wearing one on your wrist.
not with that attitude
