So I've been struggling with solving how I want to design the PCB for Tetent and I thought about my past decisions, remembering that one of the reasons Tetent was originally split was so that it would make better use of the available space in Teti. I'm looking at the design and it does look a lot like a larger #Tetent TimerSpy [gd0136] and while Tetrinsic is too large for attachment on the back of the hands, I might be able to get a solution that could be used in VR/AR applications. I'm also hoping that, by Tetent actually being half as long, I can use it with a smartphone or fit it in a pocket.

I've got enough space for a 146mm Tetent half in Teti, so I've designed a 288mm wide, 78mm tall concept that uses 2x 21700 cells:

Tetent looks more modern now, mainly because the face I mentioned in the previous log is now curved so that the device looks a bit like a boomerang.
