Supplies
Here we will discuses what you need to build one. This device is very easy to make, you don't need lots of tools and parts.
No codding skill is needed. just basic stuff like upload a code to Arduino and Little soldering skill that's all.
This equipment you will need to build the mutantW
- Good soldering Iron that at lest can go 400 degrees
- Soldering wick to remove extra solders
- Soldering wire to solder
- Soldering flux.
- Surgical knife to fix the 3D parts.

Order Your PCB and Print 3D Parts
- Only 5 piece of 3D printed parts, here is the link of the STL files that you need to print those parts :
Download link - Case. Go to the each folder and download the file format "STL" and upload them to get them printed.
You can order the Parts from the PCBway, they have excellent 3D printing service https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=39...
- Total 2 PCBs, go to each folder and use the file named Gerber to order the PCB.
Download link - PCB. Go to the each folder and download the files named "gerber" at the end of the file name.
You can directly order the PCB's from PCBway, total cost will be around $25 + shipping cost on where you live. Follow this link to order them, need to upload the Gerber files https://www.pcbway.com/QuickOrderOnline.aspx
Download these files and upload to the PCBWay website to get them printed and fabricated with fair price
Solder the Parts
Flash the Firmware
Connect the dock PCB to the watch and a USB C cable, then connect the USB cable to PC. Open the Arduino IDE software in the PC and select the correct serial port and Board (esp32-s3 module) and flash the firmware.
Go to this link to download the firmware, here.
If you know how to improve the code help me out.
Put All Together
Follow this tips to finish the build successfully.
- Use a tap between the display and the PCB to keep them isolated.
- Solder the battery last
- Use a tp4056 charging module to charge it. Set the current resistor of the module to 2k, to output 500mAh.
- Use super glue to add the top display glass to the frame
- Use the correct pins to charge the watch
Use Your Own Choice of Watch Band and the Watch Body
There are tons of choice when choosing watch band and what color of the watch body you want to match the band with.
Here my one is a "navy blue" color watch body and the "black and dark blue" watch band.
And another one is a "White" color watch body and the "black and dark blue" watch band.
Help Me Out.
It's a Big project and complex one too. So i need all the help i can get.
Please help me out if you have the Skill or ability, like
- Arduino codding, to add feature in firmware
- Python, to make more useful apps, like a WiFi based Communication App to communicate with mutantC
- Let me know if you found any mistake in the guide or the supporting files.
