'Oscilloscope' watch released after 10 years of fundraising on Kickstarter

According to Tom's Hardware , when the project seemed to be fading into oblivion, early backers were surprised to receive a package containing the watch. Meanwhile, the project page provided an update on July 30 from Anzziani confirming that backers had officially started receiving the watch.

The post shows that Anzziani is sending between 10 and 20 watches per week to customers who support the fundraising campaign, with the goal of completing the return to backers before the end of 2023.

This watch has two modes: clock and oscilloscope. The clock mode has some useful features like the option to set the 24-hour or 12-hour layout, and even an alarm. The oscilloscope mode, meanwhile, comes into play when a probe is inserted.

The watch is powered by an 8-bit Xmega microcontroller with PDI built in. It can be programmed to use custom mods, and there are eight programmable buttons that wrap around the outer edge of the watch. One goal of the project, according to Anzziani, is to allow users to create their own apps for the watch.

The watch's display is a 1.28-inch E Ink display that can be used to conserve power. Anzziani explains that the expected battery life will vary depending on whether or not the oscilloscope is used. Without the oscilloscope, the battery can last about 30 days on a single charge, while with the oscilloscope used, the battery life drops to about 12 hours.
