Right now it’s really cold outside in Japan. On my way to the station I usually take my iPhone out of my coat pocket to see what time it is. But as you may know: using an iPhone with your gloves on is a tough task. That’s why I’ve been thinking about a watch you can put on your coat or bag, which tells me time only when I need to know. Click the face once and it displays the time and date on the glass face for a few seconds. (I figured we usually don’t need to stare at a watch for a long time.)
