Sony tried getting into smart watches globally back in 2015, but they quickly withdrew from the market. However, they do still make a line of wearable devices, but only for the Japanese market.
In this episode, David gets his hands on a Sony WENA 3 smart watch, takes it apart to see what's going on inside, and comes away thoroughly impressed with Sony's work.

![How far can i2C go??
Can you really run I2C over 10 meters—or more? It’s a protocol designed for short PCB traces, but in this video, Clem puts it to the test using Raspberry Pi Picos, coaxial cable, and some hands-on experimentation. From breadboard setups to cables running out the window, we explore how far you can push I2C before it breaks! https://bit.ly/3FsqCaz
