Chess on the watch

Post by mclane »

There is still no solution to play chess on the watch.

The only thing you can do with these watches is to show time and fitness data.

@jpqy - what are we looking at here? Which watch, which OS, and which program?
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory

There is, of course, the option to get a rotating wrist strap for a smallish smartphone... :)

Is the move input still that strange with the 4x4 subset ?

What about android devices ??

I still remember https://phonedb.net/index.php?m=device& ... 7__au50008 Fossil Wrist PDA fondly. Nice concept, intuite OS but horrible battery life. Of course it was not practical with that screen size but still was a nice experience.
