I have a need for something like this "WatchMinder":

https://watchminder.com/shop/watchminder3

It's pretty good, battery lasts a month, but it has a stupid limitation: the programmable reminder messages don't allow numbers, only letters.

Also, it's nice that you can program the watch directly, but a smartphone app or laptop would make it easier: I would be OK with a USB cable from the charging station in lieu of Bluetooth.

Smartwatches should be able to provide this function, but they don't. For example, reminders should repeat until acknowledged. (Text messages on phones should do the same thing...)



> Text messages on phones should (optionally) do the same thing...

Fixed that.

Please, just make all things possible! Let me micro-manage the shit out of notifications!
