How does the case size of a watch compare to the movement size?

Are you prepared to have a similar ratio for your phone? Basically the phones we have now with a permanent, very durable waterproof case?

Why are you comparing ratios of office vs wristwatches? You should be comparing phones with wall clocks. Those things are mostly empty.

This is precisely the point. It’s easy to make a durable case if it can be more than twice the size of the components it’s encasing.
