Thoughts on Tetris Time #1

Closed vpmaster2004 closed 6 years ago

I have a few ideas

If you know how to create apps for Android and/or iOS, you could create something that controls the clock from your phone. How about adding some alarm & countdown timer capabilities with animations that happen when time is expired. Maybe even add the ability to upload custom timer & alarm sounds. World Time, maybe? Does the clock have the ability to let the user play Tetris itself? If I have more ideas, I'll post them here.

Hi @vpmaster2004,

thank you for your feedback. Native apps are really a lot of work and quite expensive if you want to publish them in the app store. So I probably won't build one. But what the watch will definitely get is a web interface with which you can make timezone and other settings, even from your mobile phone. Using it as a timer is a nice idea. I'll put it on my list of possible enhancements. Sound is also a option, I will see. There is no tetris game option, but I heard that other makers are working on this.

Feel free to contact me if you have any issues.

Best regards Tobias
