My first reaction when I read the title was to complete the sentence in my mind: “…and it sucks”.<p>But I&#x27;m very glad I was wrong in my scepticism. This is freaking amazing on so many levels.<p>Edit: It’s been a while since I’ve been so excited about a project. Now I can’t work just thinking of taking a month off to play with this thing :)

We haven’t solved homelessness, poverty, cancer, or war. We don’t have self-piloted flying cars. But for about $90 in parts, one person can design, manufacture, and build their own bespoke smart watch. Humans have made truly remarkable progress in some very specific ways.

I was expecting a brick on wrist, but this surprised me! And the circuit looks simple. I love the charging dock and textual of the watch frame! Screen resolution is a bit low though. I&#x27;d join if there&#x27;s an open source community dedicated to work on this stuff, I think there&#x27;s a lot of room improve the OS and software. I&#x27;m glad to have seen this!

The DA14683 is fantastic. I played a bit with an eval. board and it&#x27;s really good for it&#x27;s price vs. features (~$3 for 250 pcs. at Mouser). But soon the idea of releasing code for it as Open Source faded away, since you need to sign an SLA (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.dialog-semiconductor.com&#x2F;connectivity&#x2F;request-access-restricted-content" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.dialog-semiconductor.com&#x2F;connectivity&#x2F;reques...</a>), that limits the way source code based on their in SDK is released (only to your customer, in an only “need to know” basis). I hate when this happens.<p>I wonder how the creator of this watch managed to publish the source code, including the Dialog SDK; if there is a <i>backdoor</i> I am missing.

I googled and added it up (just out of curiosity) using the BOM, and total cost was ~$88USD (not counting shipping)<p>Also, the OS is FreeRTOS (Open sourced by AWS&#x2F;Amazon in &#x27;17) if anyone is interested

I would have been impressed with anything functional, but to me this actually looks nicer than the vast majority of commercially produced smart watches. Awesome!

This is really cool and as a software guy the electrical engineering component is a huge black box to me. Circuit boards all connected up and getting a physical device to handle lithium ion batteries to properly charge and not blow up is beautiful. He does a great job with pictures, videos, and giving detail at both a high level and semi-in-depth explanations really made it shine.<p>Is there anyone that does similar type of posts? Or even a follow along type of deal to get feet wet with actually building devices (maybe it includes a list of items to buy first)? Don&#x27;t get me wrong I love writing software but showing someone something you physically made as opposed to sending a link to a website seems so much more satisfying.

This is nicely done, beautiful aesthetics. There are multiple phases (HW, SW, Mechanics) which would be impressive enough on their own. Kudos!<p>Love the little gifs to explain how it&#x27;s done, especially the stenciling of the PCB.<p>I&#x27;m curious, how&#x2F;why did you choose the DA14683 chip?

I&#x27;m annoyed that he made a watch from scratch and its wrist twist to show screen timing is still faster than my smartwatch

I clicked thinking, this is just a guy who&#x27;ll disassemble a smartwatch and put his DIY housing and strap on it.<p>But man! I was so wrong, and I&#x27;m totally impressed.

That is really lovely — and truly from scratch, including the software!<p>The first photo looks a lot like Android Wear, so first I assumed this would be using a prepackaged OS, but it isn&#x27;t!<p>The source code is in on Github alongside schematics, PCB files and everything else: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;S-March&#x2F;smarchWatch_PUBLIC&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;Software" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;S-March&#x2F;smarchWatch_PUBLIC&#x2F;tree&#x2F;master&#x2F;So...</a>

I&#x27;m still disappointed that new smart watch development has seemingly stalled in progress as of late. I was hoping that by this time we&#x27;d have watches that had 24 hour battery life, and an always on display that didn&#x27;t need a flick of the wrist to activate. I hoped that wouldn&#x27;t be asking for much, but I guess it&#x27;s harder than I assumed.

Very impressive and inspiring.<p>I&#x27;ve been thinking about making a custom keyboard for a while now but, while I have no problems with the electronic and software side of things, I&#x27;m a bit overwhelmed with the 3D modelling required.<p>I tried learning Blender but it really feels ill-suited for designing physical objects. The author mentions considering openSCAD but I&#x27;ve heard pretty bad things about it so I haven&#x27;t really given it a chance yet.<p>The person making the dactyl keyboard had a very interesting talk where he explain how he basically ended up writing his own DSL in clojure on top of openSCAD, maybe I should try that: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=uk3A41U0iO4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=uk3A41U0iO4</a> (if you enjoyed TFA you&#x27;ll probably like this video as well, it&#x27;s a step-by-step explanation of how he designed his dream keyboard).<p>Otherwise I suppose I&#x27;ll have to betray rms and try this freeware Fusion 360 thing.

This is so awesome. It is a good learning and inspiring for others. I will add this project to DIY section of the Learn-awesome repository <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;learn-awesome&#x2F;learn-awesome" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;learn-awesome&#x2F;learn-awesome</a>. Please add such valuable resources here.

It&#x27;s interesting to know how one can build the one thing for about ~$80 even in small quantities, and everything is available, incl Source.<p>If people started selling the pre-soldered board as a smart-watch starter kit on Aliexpress , pretty sure someone would buy it.<p>This is the sort of thing that would make DIY popular, I can see why.

Very nice job! I love reading about hardware projects like this but stumble across the write-ups much less frequently&#x2F;reliably compared to interesting software projects. Are there good groups&#x2F;lists&#x2F;sites to hear about more electronic&#x2F;hardware hacking like this?

What a great project! I love how much attention to detail he put in. Fantastic, this is exactly the kind of thing I love studying and working on myself.<p>Sidenote, I&#x27;m a bit disappointed that people use imgur to showcase their projects, as I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s very good for that. I built <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.makerfol.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.makerfol.io&#x2F;</a> for this exact purpose but people seem to still prefer imgur for some reason, and I&#x27;m not sure why :&#x2F;

Considering there is still no good replacement for my Pebble Time, I might use this manual to build my own. The Rebble team might also be interested in this.

Congrats! Making it round was a good design decision! Who would think a square (or squircle) watch is good watch design anyway? ;)

Great project. I&#x27;m amazed at how much you can accomplish with today&#x27;s tools and services. And using the woodfill PLA is a good way to get around the rough look of 3D printers. Great ideas here.

Wow - that&#x27;s an impressive project. Ambitious and well executed.<p>...only part that had me confused was using like 25% of screen real estate for showing time and putting flowers on the other 75%. Artistic I guess.

The design of the charger is shockingly good. I would prefer that 10x to my apple charger disk that is constantly slipping off.
