Under the Rose (words by Richard Henry Stoddard)[11]

Whenever Skies are Gray

gollark: I'm now wondering how low you could actually get the power consumption without having something which is basically just a regular watch.
gollark: I probably wouldn't mind a lower-powered smartwatch with a few weeks of charge. They all seem to have overengineered application processors, fancy displays and tons of RAM, which seems unhelpful for watch uses.
gollark: That's better than the few days I've heard most smartwatches get.
gollark: I see. I don't think I am ever in situations where I could have a smartwatch but not a phone.
gollark: It doesn't take very long to retrieve a phone from a pocket. You could even bind different types of message to different sounds or vibration patterns on it if it mattered much.
