The issue with the Puck really is the battery - a watch battery won't be powerful enough for WiFi (not for the instantaneous power usage, or to last a decent amount of time). In theory I could make a device with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery and a ESP32C3 chip in it which would run Espruino and handle WiFi, but the battery life wouldn't be great on it at all - maybe a month at most - and I think that might put people off? Probably more sensible would be to make a bigger device with a bigger battery, but then if it's bigger it starts to make sense to put a screen on it as well, and then just taking the straps off a Bangle.js 3 starts to make more sense. |

Uh oh!

I know all the conversation is on Bangle 3 at the moment, but I was thinking about this a lot.
While I'm not particularly fussed to have Wi-Fi on a Bangle, I'd definitely have uses for WiFi on the Puck.
Could there be a future version that has this, similar to what you're considering with Bangle 3, or is the space just too tight?
