I get the fun part of engineering this but can't put aside that it doesn't bring that much new feature, a thermometer, international time, more advanced chronometer. That's all thing that I don't really care about.
On the downside, you loose the cheap aspect of this watch and the battery life is divided by 7. From 7 years to supposedly a full year.
I buy a f91w because it cost less than 5€ and I don't care to break it or get it stolen.

Man I wish Casio would make a cheap fitness band in one of their entry level watch bodies. A miband in the shape of a F91W with oled and 3 programmable buttons for $40 would be amazing.

I respect these developers spending months and months to do something really not necessary and just for fun. I doubt they would make millions selling this so it is purely for their entertainment. I hope to find a hobby project to dedicate myself like these people one day.

Smart is such a buzzword.
What's so smart about something that draws many times as much power?
Sure we can strive to do more with less power? It's been decades since this watch was first released.

Nice. I just wish they chose a watch with more pixels for the display. Perhaps they’ll consider doing another one as a successor.

This is sensorwatch.com and it is nice. It has been around for a while.

I wish they'd pick a better base watch, eg F108, W217.

Basically the 2024 wannabe terrorist dream come true!
