Adafruit 1106 Timesquare Watch Kit

How does a Time Lord ensure she's always when she should be? Do you have a need for a stylish self-made watch that will fit your wrist, whether it's slim or more robust? Do you want to feel the satisfaction of having constructed your own technology? The answer may very well be the Adafruit Timesquare Watch Kit!

The kit is a beginners project that requires some basic soldering/assembly to complete - ideal for learning the basics of soldering. The watch has an 8 x 8 ultrabright red LED matrix and a black silicone watch band that has a vast range of adjustment.

The 64 LEDs will light up in a variety of different ways, according to which display mode is selected. There are three different watch 'faces' - a scrolling marquee with time and date, a binary watch display (for geeks, nerds and cyborgs), and a moon phase display (for Wiccans, werewolves and astronomers). There's also a neat built-in battery meter so you can check your battery life.

Engineered for greatness by PaintYourDragon, this watch squeezes 500 to 1000 full time displays out of the included coin cell, and up to one year 'resting' lifetime, so you can use this as a day-to-day timekeeper.

• 8 x 8 Ultra-bright red matrix display
• ATmega328P Chip with Arduino Bootloader

• CR2032 Coin cell included
• This watch is meant to be hackable, from the software to the band!
• You'll need soldering things and diagonal cutters as a minimum
• Takes about 1-2 hours to put together

Do you want to design your own watch face? Easy! The microcontroller is an Arduino-compatible, all you need is an FTDI Friend and the Arduino IDE and you can design your own watch faces and upload them to TIMESQUARE.
