    This is covered in Claudeish, had to stop reading. I have to read enough of this at work...

    >A drawn movement is a claim. Before anything gets a surface, I test it as a machine.

    If this isn't Claude-prose then the author has been reading too much of it...

    (oh, Pangram gives the entire thing 100%)

      Give them some grace. The author is a Czech developer likely using AI to help write in a second language or translating.

        If the whole thing is written by AI, then I wouldn't say that it was just "helping". Author could write it in their native language and then use AI to translate it - the result would be very different.

        The movement does look pretty neat. I'm not into watches, but it's impressive that purely rendered thing was designed to be realistic.

    Interesting, but title is missing the key word "Garmin".

    "How I build a mechanical Garmin watch face: a real gear train for a watch with no gears"
