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).
