It is a smart watch. Why do you want to waste bleeding-edge processors on it when older designs do perfectly well? Certainly more sustainable.

He's talking about the name of the new Pebble which was the name of Intel's CPU from 2008.

The CPU is a single core Arm-M4 inside a nRF52840 SOC.

I want my smart watch to require liquid cooling and to constantly video everything around me and have a GPU running AI dedicated to monitoring everything so that it can use a 25W speaker to blast what types of individual animals are around me.
