In this video, I walk you through the process of creating personalized clock faces for Bangle.JS smartwatches, with a keen focus on making them visually striking. I start by unpacking the Bangle.JS watches and highlighting their key attributes, such as the LCD display, sensors, and touch functionality.
I emphasize the significance of Bluetooth connectivity for these watches and detail the steps involved in establishing a connection with a PC. Exploring the array of available clock applications, I then delve into the creation of a custom clock face using an online graphic editor called Photopea.
I guide you through the creation of unique numeric digits for the clock face, converting them into a specialized font, and integrating the font into an Espruino IDE sketch. Throughout the video, I provide insights into the strengths and limitations of Bangle.JS watches.
I applaud their affordability and customization potential, while also candidly addressing the readability challenges posed by their display. Your feedback on the watches and their display would be greatly appreciated, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to engaging with you further.
