Chronos is a $99 gadget geared to solving that problem. It's a 3mm thick disk designed to be discreetly worn underneath an analog watch. It offers multi-color flashing lights and vibrations for notifications from your iPhone, and also offers limited tap-based control of iPhone apps. You can, for example, skip to the next track in the Music app. The Verge reports that it's probably something you'll want to use only with larger watches. Chronos does add an appreciable thickness to the watch, setting it higher off of your wrist, but it isn't particularly noticeable when placed beneath a larger model. Chronos will retail for $129, but the first 250 people to pre-order can snag one for $79. The bad news is that you'll have to wait until the spring to receive it.
