Here’s a wristwatch concept we haven’t seen before. instead of trying to sandwich everything inside of a case it uses a stack of PCBs as the body of the watch.
[Mats Engstrom] wrote in to idea us off about his build. The design opts for LEDs which is nothing new. but unlike previous offerings [Mats] didn’t opt for one LED for each minute. When the touch sensor in the middle of the enjoy is activated the twelve LEDs on the face will let you know the hour and the nearest five minutes. A video of this is embedded after the break.
The design uses three different circuit boards. The bottom board is the largest and supplies slots through which the wrist bands can connect. It also serves as one of the two battery connectors. The second PCB is a spacer with a cutout for the coin cell that powers the device. The top board is where all the magic happens. It’s dual sided to host the LEDs and touch senor, with the photo microcontroller and support circuitry on the other side.
