SmartWatch support thread

Open serbanghita opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Problem It appears that some smartwatches have browsers incorporated in them. If there are enough case studies across the smartwatches industry vendors, then we should create a special method isSmartWatch that aims to detect small surfaces like a watch.

Not sure how relevant is this so let me know your thoughts.

@tcse thanks a lot for the details. I don't own smartwatches but I have many friends and colleagues owning them and I will start asking around and then build a PR
