Ok no inline-html. Good boy..

Well as for fitting on your wrist might be a problem as you would look
like a super-dork.. But I'm becoming rather fond recently of the
Hammer/Nail board. With the nail you can put a small tft on it. And the
vendor is extremely helpful.

one with a tft)

The OLED which they said is even eaiser than dealing with a tft

As for getting smaller. The only other choice is the picotux.. But
that's useless.

And if you want to know why you are going to look like a super dork..
Just look at the size of the wrist usage cases that exist out there..

If the hammer/nail fits your needs come talk to me. I'm trying to get 
some small projects going around that device.

Good luck..
