that's actually very intriguing! The only thing that worries me is, I'd be concerned about tapping my mechanical watch dozens of times a day. Tapping can exert surprising amount of force to tiny movement pieces.

Agreed -- same worries for the vibration. But for something like light notifications alone...

I'd have to get one and try it out first, though; it seems like a reasonable compromise.
