Create Your Own Smartwatch for Less Than $ 125
If the current set of smartwatches simply doesn’t interest you, a customized itinerary might be better for you. Avoid all the big brands and create your own smartwatch from off-the-shelf components for under $ 125.
To create this open source smartwatch, you will need a thin end soldering iron, a 3D printer (or access to one ), and some breakout boards and components. When you’re done, you will have a unique smartwatch that displays notifications from your smartphone and is fully customizable according to your specifications.
This Arduino -based device is the brainchild of Jonathan Cook, who has shared his complete instructions for assembling and printing his watch on oswatch.org .
