I'm building a hackable smartwatch. How much would you pay for it?
- xrd 2y agoI've spent close to a thousand on all the different watches. It depends on the vision and what you could build. I'm definitely interested in discussing it. My email is on my profile page.
- readyplayernull 2y agoInteresting. So this is a hobby project of mine, I don't have a factory and I can't miniaturize the device modules, but I'm building it to be comfortable. I can make it boot Linux that is enough for hacking. Recording, playing audio is not an issue. GPS and GSM require extra modules. I'll need to check how much battery it consumes once assembled, but I can add as much capacity as needed, even with replaceable batteries for backup, at the expense of having a bulkier wearable. Maybe it's not the kind of device you want, or maybe you do, people used to run around with walkmans. Now, parts take long to arrive, so it will take some time for me to get back and send you pics.
