You do not like smartwatches today? Just build yours

Smart watches are difficult. Not only must the technology be functional inside, but it must also be considered fashionable because it is something you wear all the time. You can compare the products or do what the designer Samson March did, and create yours entirely from scratch, via Engadget.

Best of all, March has provided an incredibly detailed overview of his process and all his files for construction, which means that with a little work (well, many, many), you can also create your own smartwatch.

To be clear, though – it's not something for the faint of heart. Even with March's instructions, you'll still need to print the 3D case (the printable 3D printable mars / plastic blend), search for parts, assemble a circuit board, assemble everything, and install the software. and running. In addition, March did not just watch a watch: he also built a charging station to recharge the watch.

Given the overall size of the finished product and the fact that March Literally built from scratch, it's an incredibly impressive feat. The finished product apparently takes up to seven days of battery life, can display notifications from its phone and recharges in about two and a half hours – better specs than some full-fledged commercial smartwatches can handle.
