     Got to say, the #watchy is *very* fiddly to assemble. Nerves of steel and a steady hand are required.

     I love the æsthetic - but the case has no water resistance and doesn't have *any* protection for the fragile eInk screen.

     OK! The #watchy is powered up and displaying stuff!

     Now to properly assemble it.

     @Edent could you maybe get a protective glass intended for another watch?

     OMG! I just compiled and uploaded my own custom watch face using #Arduino!

     (Work in progress, obviously.)

     (Of course, it still thinks it is 32°C and sunny. So who knows what else I've fucked up.)

     Thanks to @ben I have learned how to recompile my watch's firmware so it shows the correct time.

     Isn't the future amazing‽

     Turns out, the only Micro USB cable I have left is from… a BlackBerry!

     Mmmm! Low processor power, monochrome screen, clacky buttons. Perfect!

     Connecting the #Watchy to WiFi was pretty easy. Didn't have to use the buttons to type in an SSID & password. It broadcasts its own AP, so I could set it up in a browser.

     NTP worked, but the timezone is 4 hours out.

     Oh well! Lots to play with.

     @kaia@brotka.st @Edent@mastodon.social tbh, takes way too much screen estate, makes the watch face seem very cluttered.
