Over the last year or so I have been working on this project; a custom-built smartwatch! It is still very much a work in progress, and I have plans to build a new hardware platform in the future… Everything was built from the ground-up: the schematics, PCB, firmware, and PC software.

After making a mistake in my last design, I took the opportunity to re-design the PCB and add some extra features. This will be a work in progress so look in here for related blog posts!

As a side project, I decided it’d be neat to have a programmable wrist watch. I had an OLED lying around with the right dimensions, but I needed a breakout board to be able to use it. So instead of simply making a breakout board, I decided I’d turn it into a smart-watch platform!
