I'd like to do something like this. I have many ESP32's lying around doing
nothing, however, I've never built anything this small before, as pictured, this
thing is most elegant. It's just too bad that the corrupt politicians in our
respective governments have succeeded in making sure that we'll have to shop in
China to get our spare parts or we could probably build these things more
quickly and sort them out. I miss the good old days when I could go to Radio
Shack and get my parts. One would think that in the 21'st century, it would be
easier to get parts to make innovative strides, just like in the past. Somebody
must think that, that, would be a bad idea.

Also, if one's interested in smart watches, The people at Pine64 also offers the
pine watch, I think that's what it's called, it may be an interesting project
too. It's too bad I have to shop in China for it though, because the shipping,
handling and time is just unacceptable. Anyhow, here's the link to the pine
watch below.
