Today, I'm gonna take this dumb watch and turn it into a smartwatch. So this is the Casio f 91 w. It's one of the most popular watches of all tier, worst under $30, and it tells time. This is called the Ollie Watch Kit. I found this company online and they make these parts that allow you to mod this watch and turn it into a smartwatch that connects to your phone and does all kinds of cool stuff. Alright. So the first thing we gotta do is remove the back. We just have four screws here. Now let's take our tweezers and remove the back. We'll take the watch movement out. And now this is where things get more complicated. I need to pry these four brackets off on these corners. Four. We did it. Wait. It looks like the Casio watch that they sent me already has this Ollie chip in here. Let's put this back together though, and I'll show you guys what this can do. Alright. Now we gotta connect the watch to my phone, and now it says hello. These are all the different watch faces that the Ollie watch has. Well, let's take a look at some of the cooler things this thing can do. One thing I like is that you can change the background color to like any color you worst. So let's try and make it blue. It's kinda hard to see better there's our blue light. We can apparently play games on here too. This one you have to hit this falling ball and it's a lot harder than it looks. Oh. It's got a step better, it can tell you the temperature, it can even calculate your heart rate. For someone that's been avoiding getting a smartwatch, this is kind of a nice happy medium. Still disconnected from messages and social media, but you get some of the other benefits in a really classic watch. Thought for more peace.
