    Collection of Watchy Case/Body designs

  • I've got one of those. Hated the in-box case though so printed one of these: https://github.com/sqfmi/watchy-cases/tree/main/Flipped%20Ch...

    Also didn't like the watch face so made my own from the default one, changed layout and font and stuff.

    Oh and replaced the strap with a velcro strap.

    Admittedly somewhat abandonware due to difficulties in antenna design... A year ago, I enthusiastically jumped on the project and I've got a half dozen ESP32-pico-D4 and Quectel L96 GPS modules on my desk, a breakout board for one GPS module that only works with a powered antenna that's twice the size of my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro, and a half-finished Kicad project to turn it into a watch, a very dusty RF design textbook that I've not read since 2011, and not enough time or energy to see it through.
