The concept is not new. I am one of the early backers of the Hyetis Crossbow. One year delay from the promised delivery date and still nothing to show for it. Now I no longer even want the watch, because technology moves on.
There lies the ultimate dilemma of a hybrid. How do you reconcile a technology that can become obsolete with the timeless nature of a mechanical watch?
My piece of advice? Buy a smartwatch because its nice, works with your phone etc.. and keep mechanical watches separate.
