Hi,

Due to the size of the USB-C connector. And needing an extra long connector I 
did not choose to use the USB-C.

Does anyone know how to properly anodize aluminum I still want my case to 
get anodized.
Cant find a company that will do one case only

Thank you

I CNC milled the case out of aluminium and did the holes myself.
It is hard to find screws this small. luckily is found these.

Yes I did use the pico. The integrated flash and oscillator make it very 
handy for tiny products. Also you don't have to worry about EMC/EMI issues.

Thanks Magnus!

Yes it is a bit big on my wrist Being only 23 years old they will probably 
grow. 
I think the case needs another iteration I still have 2.5 millimeter of 
aluminium on the bottom part wich can be brought down.

Hi!

I used the internal ULP of the ESP32 to do some stuff while the watch is 
sleeping. This ULP has a very basic set of instructions 
I found it easier to use a separate RTC wich holds the time much better 
with much more features and at a much lower voltage then the esp32 
processor.

Thank you Paul!

Because of all the features and being still an electronics student on 
school. 
I used an esp32 processor mainly for its ease of implementation and 
features.
The esp32 will draw a bit more power then other processors.

Thanks Kevin A.

I used the z5900m because these were the smallest i could find.
You are right! I can change the tubes easily but some changes have to be 
done on the layout of the PCB.
Unfortunately I do not plan to share the design.
