Is this keyboard a good concept on smartwatches

[Touchone Touchall]

What do you guys think of this keyboard concept on smartwatches?

I like it. Maybe have a QWERTY option, though I'm not sure if that would really help with circular typing. QWERTY is a concept everyone is familiar with.

well, it is, but will the keys be too small for our fingers?

I like it... but is there a reason why the alphabet doesn't start at the 12 o'clock position?

How would you use it? Would you tap the buttons around the end, or would you swipe in their direction from the center?

I think it could potentially work, but I'm curious about just how much movement would be necessary to spell out simple words, and what the accuracy rate would be. Would there be ambiguity problems between, say, "duck" and "f---"? How could users pick between multiple possible interpretations?

I am going to buy a Modular smart watch. Is it available on Modular smart watch too?

No because, as you've been informed several times previously, this Modular watch (a) is still vapourware and (b) won't run on Android Wear.

Sort of reminds me of the Minnum app for Wear.

Seems promising. Spreads the letters out without taking much space.

Side note-Google already has handwriting input for android, why not for Android wear? (it would be more useful than drawing emoji's!)
