  1. @sqfmi Update: I fixed it! 🎉
    Not too shabby of a job either, if I dare say so myself.

  6. Thanks to the published CAD files, I figured out how to fix the buttons on my @sqfmi Watchy.

    Some vias are corroded due to moisture, most likely from rain. In theory, all I have to do is solder two little jumper wires 🟠 🔵 without dislodging any other components. Those pads are 1 mm. 😬

    Wish me luck. 🤞

  11. My priorities have always been clear: hackability, repairability, and privacy over convenience and luxury.

    So for my wife and I's wedding, I wanted to add a few customizations to my Watchy to celebrate the ocassion. I simply changed some images and added some files to the InkWatchy firmware.

    Next step: adding a count-up timer from our wedding date to the main watchface.

  16. I played around with my watchy after getting it last month. Almost immediately destroyed the eink screen. AliExpress saved me with that one.
    I want a quick reference of time on my desk and this fits the bill!
    I'm also looking forward to the new pebble watches!

  21. @seav I do feel like I need to get one, only because we had a work engineering team face-to-face meet-up, and I was the only one without a smartwatch!
    I'm thinking of going for one of the geeky highly programmable but not highly usable #opentech options (I was one of these people admiring the e-ink #watchy mastodon.social/@Edent/1106667 , but maybe the Pi Bangle.js is more my level)

  26. Got myself a Watchy (v2.0 clone off Aliexpress) and slapped a 803040 1000mah battery on it for the lols, so designed a shell and strap for it.

    Also uploaded it to Thingiverse if anyone else with one of these wants to make one: thingiverse.com/thing:6971561

  31. woops bought a #watchy and now I'm back on mastodon

  32. Now updated to be running the VERY BEST watch face.
    #sqfmi #Watchy

    Watch face from github.com/b-bayport/watchy_ca but if like me you've got one of the recent Watchys you'll need to make a few minor changes to settings.h. I'll push my fork/changes to a repo at some point soonish.

  37. And since I already brought my tools, I ended the day in true techie-fashion by dismantling my Watchy e-paper watch by @sqfmi to figure out why some of the buttons don't work. To my surprise, it's not worn-out buttons, it's CORROSION. AAAH!

    I also love how the back side of the e-paper display has inverted colours.

    Anyways, time for bed.

  42. Pushing the Watchy to the limit by bringing it all the way to the Arctic! Rather surprised with how well the E-Ink screen is performing, even when the temperature fell down to -10°C earlier.

  46. I couldn't wait until the weekend. It took probably no more than 30 minutes to actually assemble the watch. No soldering, just clicking a few bits into place.

    I'll play with customisation and stuff later.
