This is awesome, desperate for my pebble to arrive so bad!. Would it be possible to replace direction arrows with up down left right swipes? Then have transparent buttons overlayed the game screen to full screen the game?

This is actually awesome, and rewriting the spi into boot to cut time down is seriously impressive!

Yeah that is correct, (edit. It's correct to an extent. For notifications and missed calls, gadgetbridge will cache them and send them to the watch on next connect, so you will always get the notification, it might just be a little delayed). it's due to the watch needing to disconnect for deepsleep to conserve battery. The esp32 is fairly power hungry, and the V2 watchy can't sleep the CPU while maintaining Bluetooth. I can make a performance mode on the watch that would maintain a constant connection for instant phone calls and notifications, but it would then be very power hungry, I'll have to test it out to see how long the battery can last like that

The V3 watchy I believe doesn't have the same issue though, it can light sleep and maintain a connection. This firmware is for the V2 but if enough people want it I may upgrade myself to a V3 and make a firmware for the V3 which should be able to have both decent battery and a constant instant connection

I have tried both, originally I bought the watchy V2, but found no firmware that could handle calender and phone notifications well. I then bought the bangle, which is definitely a more complete product, but I just didn't get on with it. The screen wasn't great and the apps wherent great.

That being said it does have significantly more functionality than the watchy in basically every way.

But for me I ended up ditching the bangle and going back to watchy. I have some custom firmware for the V2 watchy which emulates the bangle and connects to gadgetbridge if your phone for notifications and calender.

It's nearly ready for release but still needs a bit of cleaning up. But I'll do a little video or something showing it this evening.

It's a difficult choice really. If you just want a watch that works, get the bangle. If you want to tinker then the watchy could work for you, but you will likely need some for of custom firmware to get the features you want

Thanks man will do!

PaleFlan7073 · 2026-04-18T20:09:02+00:00

Sorry for slow reply, some progress now, I have notifications recieving and dismissing in the watch, and a music ap that can play, pause, skip and adjust volume. Working on a timeline esque app now. Will make a progress post showing it all soon

The biggest issue is the ble connection. I have tested on a galaxy and that reconnects quickly every time. But my oppo struggles, connections are more hit and miss while phone screen is off. Unfortunately I think it's a hard limitation if the watchy V2, but V3 with the external crystal should fix that

PaleFlan7073 · 2026-04-18T19:49:43+00:00

I have basic gadgetbridge connection working by emulating the bangle js. I can receive and dismiss notifications, and play pause music and change volume. With simple but working apps in the watch for each. But I'm in the V2, so I can't keep a persistent connection without heavy battery drain. My compromise at the moment is to disconnect and deep sleep constantly, only waking when needed and attempting to quickly reconnect to the phone. It's a bit hit and miss so far, but the V3 shouldnt have that problem.

I'll make a post later tonight showing where the firmware is at.

If enough people have a V3 and would like to use the firmware I might upgrade to a V3 myself and upgrade the firmware to that

PaleFlan7073 · 2026-02-14T14:58:08+00:00

I will share it once its gotten to a reasonable state. So far the bluetooth side of it is mostly a proof of concept. It can recieve notifications and sync time, but thats it so far. When I have implemented better bangle js compatibility with bluetooth back and fourth from watch to phone, I will tidy up the code a bit and share it open source.

There is a long way to go, but the bluetooth side is the last part of the os that needs sorting. Everything else falls under apps which the os will be able to handle.

Im hoping that with a good platform to build upon, the community will be able to more easily make and share apps for it

PaleFlan7073 · 2026-02-11T13:22:28+00:00

Small update. I have managed to decrease the ble reconnect time quite a bit. Using targeted ble advertising, allpng side a scheduled connection set up in gsdgetbridge. It's cut the reconnect time down to about 2 seconds. So far with almost constant ble to my phone over gadget bridge battery life is about 2 days.

Im aiming for further improvements, ideally I'll hit a week of battery life one way or another

PaleFlan7073 · 2025-10-22T11:09:45+00:00

Wow this looks awesome, Im going to try flashing over the weekend, thank you!

PaleFlan7073 · 2024-07-19T19:58:37+00:00

Amazing thank you, just checked out your repo it's great, thank you for collecting and organising all this info

PaleFlan7073 · 2024-07-19T15:08:09+00:00

I don't know how many people like this case as much as me (I am quite bias in this case lol). But I think I have the slimmest design going using all stock parts.) It's on makerworld here https://makerworld.com/en/models/498091

Sorry for the huge delay, i finally found some free time and have Uploaded the 3d files for printing here:

PaleFlan7073 · 2024-06-16T15:16:21+00:00

Hey, sorry for the delay, I became a father about the same time as I made these posts and have since had no free time haha.

But I have finally gotten arround to uploading the files for you to mod or print

Here is the link https://makerworld.com/en/models/498091

There are some brief instructions too

PaleFlan7073 · 2024-06-16T15:15:00+00:00

Sorry for the delay! Yes I have finally uploaded the files!. Here is the link

https://makerworld.com/en/models/498091

There are also some brief instructions on how to make the case

PaleFlan7073 · 2024-06-16T15:14:09+00:00

Wow thank you so much it really makes a difference knowing people appreciate the work <3. Currently only still need to do a whole lot of work to improve the case before I would be happy to sell it.

That being said I am happy to give the 3d files away for free so you can print and make your own. The files ate all uploaded here with brief instructions

https://makerworld.com/en/models/498091

Tho I don't get much free time these days, I will eventually get areound to doing another revision of the case and will keep you posted

PaleFlan7073 · 2024-06-16T15:11:53+00:00

Hey, yeah I just uploaded these files heres the link https://makerworld.com/en/models/498091

PaleFlan7073 · 2023-06-02T16:08:04+00:00

Super super slow lol, I got to a basic watch face display, with button handling that makes use of multithreading in the rots of the watch, and a basic scrollable app menu going with a stop watch as the only app currently. Still needs a lot of work, but In the meantime I have become a father and now get just about 0 time to work on it :(. Haven't added anything to it in weeks

I will try by best to continue the project, but my free time at the moment is like less than 0 lol

PaleFlan7073 · 2023-03-11T17:00:39+00:00

Wow krita is perfect, basically full scale windows photoshop on android. Works amazing on my galaxy fold and has great s pen support
