A hybrid analog/smart watch.

A true analog watch that has a translucent screen that can display text messages and caller ID.
Not a digital watch that has the ability to have a digital face that looks like an analog watch. Preferably all metal with a metal bracelet.

I really miss wearing a true analog watch but I have also become spoiled by having my texts and caller ID displayed on my wrist.
With nearly all I do at work being recorded pulling out the phone is not really practical as friends and families names and numbers will become public record. Though sometimes folks are calling me and it be work related so I need to know who is calling.
The smart watch makes this much easier as I just rotate my wrist and I know who is calling or texting and it does not make it to the view of the camera.

Analog face and a small digital screen?
Yes ... and no.

- digital screens often hard to read in daylight
- battery life in analog in watch mode is great. Maybe 5-7 days with digital display enabled?
- uses a smartphone to connect via bluetooth, for msgs, music, etc. Some have GPS display as long as phone connection is active.

Maybe the Nevo watch? US$100

The Fossil Hybrid HR.
I am getting one for Christmas from the wife. It uses eInk for the display and it is a sharp looking analog.

Out of those options the Withings looks the closest to what I am wanting.

The Fossil would not be bad if it actually had numbers on the face.

The Breitling would be first choice but I am having a difficult time convincing my wife to let me buy a Land Cruiser for $3500 so nearly double that for a watch, yeah not so much.

It would appear what I am envisioning does not exist.
As these all have two screens visible at all times. I would prefer the crystal to be a translucent screen that when not displaying anything one would not really know it is a screen.

Other than the metal band which you could probably switch out.

A Land Cruiser for $3,500? Is that just for the left wheel and radiator or something?

Lol.

I’ll go halvsies with you on the Breitling and we can just swap it back and forth quarterly or something.
