I'm glad to hear someone else enjoyed it as well! I had replaced mine with a Pebble after the third one finally stopped holding a charge. I wish I had been able to keep at least one going from then.

2018-08-03 05:42:59 +0000 UTCI actually had one of these! I can remember back in high school it was great to mess with when I otherwise couldn't use my phone, but I do remember the UI being particularly restrictive. I honestly might have even played that 2048 clone. I don't suppose mine ever stopped working, but I eventually got an original Moto 360.

2018-08-02 15:40:09 +0000 UTCThis thread about direct powering an android device might be worth your time to skim over. It seems that when directing powering, their phones would start to boot up until there was a “battery check” and then they would shut off. <a href="https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863303" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863303</a> Also, did the battery that you removed have its own circuitry that the Watch might be expecting?
