I was really pumped for smart glasses. I do a lot of my learning while I walk and adding a small video window in the corner of my vision would really help with some of what I'm learning.

Sucks that it turned into what it is..

    You don't need smart glasses for that. You don't need a camera, internet connection, face recognition or AI to have a small video window in your glasses.

    Unfortunately it's like with smart watches. You can't get a watch that's just a display with some API. They all need to include HR monitors and GPS for some reason.

    Uuhhh, so, on your second paragraph: pebble

    I don't own one, I don't know if I want one, but it is exactly that: a e-ink display for time and notifications

    Yes, re-pebble round is what I'm describing.

    When I was looking for a watch couple of years ago it still didn't exist. There are the old pebbles but I didn't know how reliable they still were. I ended up buying a Casio watch with date format setting which was all I needed (pretty much all casio watches use american date format and you need BT to change it).
