A project log for Simpler Smartwatch

I aim to design a smartwatch that will work as an accesory for android phones. It will be simple, and cheap, and have great battery life.

I hope to start work on this project soon, I just need to get the cash together first.

All the components are off the shelf, and from the same place, so hopefully It will be simple to set up a prototype right away. I'm new to hardware hacking, and want to set up and dive into coding the software (firmware?). Later, when the prototype is working well, it should be easy enough to source the same componets for a custom PCB and enclosure, and use the same code.

I'm not sure yet if I'll need to write a custom android app, or if there's already a solution for sending info to the watch over BLE.
