Please stop with these unusable watch designs.

The minimum typography for retina/xhdpi mobile screens (3.5"-6.5") is 14pt. The smart watch is roughly 1.7" and the same typography and tap target rules apply. A user has fingers that cannot tap your tiny tap targets and eyes that cannot read your tiny fonts. While you're designs may look pleasing and may get you hundreds of likes on this site, we need to remember that design is about purpose and function before aesthetics and that real people will be wearing these.
