For more chek the original project here by Moritz Wenzel. The OwnWatch is fully hackable and makes it possible to realize Arduino projects simple as usual and connect and control them with the watch itself or over the watch with your phone via Bluetooth.


To order your boards, use JLCPCB.com and select your color.

Jump with the wearable technology into the next galaxy: Your watch can be the controlling- and powering-unit for your clothes and simply turn them into Smartclothes. You dont need to integrate a power supply (battery) or a controlling-unit in your wearables, just connect your shirt, pullover, jacket or whatever you want trough the (Phoenex compatible) GPIO Port to the OwnWatch. That makes it much easier and cost efficient to create 'SmartClothes&apos'.

Moritz Wenzel is sharing all the details on his hackaday post. We can see the layout of the board which is pretty complex. Order this board and solder everything and get your own watch. You can also check the part list on the same post.

He is thinking about a Kickstarter Campaign, but as he already said, there is a lot of coding that has to be done*. And of course also all those non-technical things. He ask su to understand, that it isn't possible to manufacture all the watches for us on his own in his apartment with a basic soldering iron. For more, check here.
