This watch is a personal project that I have worked on for fun over the last few years. The goal is to build a bluetooth smartwatch that has all the features that I would ever want on a smartwatch, all in a compact format that I can actually wear around all day.
- LVGL UI
- Touchscreen
- Bluetooth (Using Gadgetbridge)
- Phone Notifications
- Music Control
- Haptic Vibration Motor
- USB-C Charging
- Step Tracking
- Timer
- Stopwatch
- Clock (Obviously)
When I started this project, the Lilygo T-Watch 2021 was the only option on the market for a round screen + processor combo, but then Waveshare released their ESP32-S3 Dev Board with 1.28in LCD which after desoldering some connectors is significantly thinner than the Lilygo option due to the more integrated processor.
Specs (Waveshare)
- ESP32-S3R2 240MHz SoC with 16MB of flash and 2MB of PSRAM
- GC9A01 1.28in round LCD with CST816S capacitive touchscreen
- QMI8658 6-axis IMU
The shell of the watch is entirely 3D-Printed, with the main body printed in PLA and the bands printed out of flexible TPU
