I like that the screen looks large, expansive and a square-ish aspect ratio, which could be attributed to the thin bezels. It's also a good thing that I opted for this shorter design than the 121mm long one; this design doesn't end too far down my forearm and I think it should be possible to use a single watch strap. I'm actually quite a fan of the entire look from all angles, but I might make that 40 degree slope next to the wrist the same angle as the one closest to the camera (see below).
The issue is the locations of the Tetrinsics. My fingers just have much larger angles than expected. I'm going to have to do some rework. It also seems that 23mm is still too high. I'm going to try for 20 or 21mm again and see what I can get.

I'm also going to add a place for the straps. The i3 AMOLED has convinient little levers that make removing them super easy, barely an inconvinience.

I'll have a look on aliexpress to see if there are any bands like this. This one says "20mm" on it, so I hope that it implies that wider straps exist.

Well that didn't take long at all, and there's even a variety of colours to choose from!
