New watch Kit

[Jon Hodgins]

I know this group has been inactive a while, but I'm hoping others who originally liked the Makerbot watch are still out there.

I quite like my Makerbot watch, so I've designed a new watch inspired by it. It has a machined case with Sapphire crystal, RTC, and Qi wireless charging. Using a rechargeable LIR2032 it can achieve 5 days on a single charge. There is a switch on the side that can be pushed towards the lugs for up or down inputs. For scale reference the Crystal on the front is 40mm in diameter.

The point of posting this here is to gauge interest and see if anyone would buy one. If there's enough interest I'd put together a kickstarter and make a small run of them.

Some possible options are:

- Complete watch assembled with the charging stand would be about $300 (Canadian)

- Complete watch without charging stand would be about $220

- Just the electronics would be about $90 if someone wants to make their own case.

All these prices are assuming I'm making all the parts myself, so there might be some changes if I can find a better way.

Please let me know if anyone is interested and feedback would be welcome.
