By 'invisible', I mean one that lays flat, feels good, and is a part of you. A 7mm ultra-thin piece fits the bill for me today

Hope everyone is having a pleasant day!

They do a superb job with their movements, a lot to like with this brand and their quality, even if one doesn't like the funky styling of some models.
