Whoa that's pretty neat. Do you have a physical prototype yet like a 3D printed case around it, battery, etc? I know you mentioned GPS but wondering if you would consider a hardware input like an rpm reader on the tires.
- dcz_self 5y agoYes, I have ordered a batch of smart watches that go on the handlebars, same as the prototype on the photo. I will sell them together with a Bluetooth wheel/cadence sensor once I figure out Bluetooth.
- ge96 5y agoThat sounds pretty cool. Good luck. I'd be curious on design choices like waterproofing, battery life, things like that. Also I think you mentioned your site is getting worked on but pictures to clarify what it is about would help sell it.
- dcz_self 5y agoThe watch hardware is waterproof (but not submergeable), it works for 1 day without special optimizations (all-disabled-low-power-mode on original firmware about 2 months), it has a sunlight-readable display which should work with GPS for at least 6 hours without any optimizations. That's enough for a trip. It only has 8MiB storage space, but that should cover a couple hours worth of GPS track. It's the same device as used by Bangle.js 2. The web site was put up before I started the firmware work, so obviously no pictures :) They will come once the project becomes more useful.
