Re: “The Twelve” is live

Here is my imagined scenario: (take it with a pinch of salt) ... Brilliant post. You kind of demonstrate well that anyone wanting to design an integrated bracelet sports watch in 2023 is operating with very little elbow room. But I don’t see any difference to any other watch being designed by any o...

Hi, Drew. I’d wondered about jkbarnes name. It’s been many years since I read Hemingway. Not since I studied English, I think. Should dig out some of his books.
