Meybe add motion detector for showing only if it is needed? And create completly mobile without wire?

Additional Power Consumption: A motion sensor would consume extra power. Although it might help extend the overall battery life by activating the LEDs only when needed, it still adds to the complexity of the power management.

Size and Weight: Integrating an additional sensor could increase the size and weight of the watch, potentially impacting wearability and comfort.

Development Complexity: Adding a motion sensor requires more hardware and software development, increasing the complexity of the project.

Reliability: The reliability of the motion sensor and its ability to accurately detect movements could be a challenge in a small, wearable unit. Malfunctions could result in the watch not responding when it should, or being unnecessarily activated.

Design and Usability: The design of the watch would need to be adjusted to accommodate the sensor, which could impact its aesthetic appeal and user-friendliness.

In summary, while integrating a motion sensor into a watch with LED rings offers potential benefits, it needs to be carefully balanced against the added complexity, power consumption, weight, and reliability to ensure that the quality of the final product is not compromised.
