First braille smartwatch

I stumbled across a really interesting article today, which shows someone has finally produced something I've been thinking about for a while...


That's right, a braille smartwatch!  What a genius idea.  And it's called "Dot Watch".

A quote from their website...

Touch the display. Feel the Dots come up and prod at your fingertips.
How many are there? One followed by two Dots on the hour module?
That means that it's now 12 o'clock. Checking for time is that simple.
So are getting notifications. Just wait for your Dot Watch to vibrate - it'll tell you who reached out.

If you want more information, check out the website... https://dotincorp.com/shop/product/dot-watch/

Free Ottega watch anyone?

Ok, this is a bit off topic, but have you seen that Ottega currently has some of their watches going to free, yes that's £0, on their website?

Check it out... https://www.ottega.co.uk/collections/watches

And this isn't even a referral link, I just thought it was too good to miss!  You do have to pay £7.99 postage, but that's a very small price to pay.

Personally, I'm getting the Elite in black...

New privacy policy

Google, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to start having a clear up of older apps, but removing ones which don't have a privacy policy URL defined.  This is fine, but not defining one was clearly an option before, and my apps simply deliver a watch face, and therefore don't really need one.

So I have created a generic one, and here it is...

  • This app does not collect any user data, personal or otherwise.
  • This app does not collect any payment or financial data.
  • This app does not collect any phonebook or contact data.
  • This app does not contain any antivirus or security functionality.
  • This app adheres to all of the Google Play Privacy and Security stipulations.

Clear and concise?

Unfortunately I had to go through each of the apps and update them one by one!  Hopefully they should all be showing the updated details within a few hours, including my new website... http://www.rik.onl.
