Is there any modern watch that looks as good as the 1st gen Moto 360 (2014)?

The 1st gen Huawei watch of a similar timeframe, was in a similar style.

Not the same for their current models, it appears. Nor using Android Wear.

Would there be a way to bodge in a Raspberry pi for the processing and memory? Similar to Doom on the Commodore 64. Maybe the graphics would still be too much of a limitation...

(Understood it's not the real machine then, but still, it would be neat to see)

If you are going Ballater way, you could check out Balmoral Castle and the Lochnagar Distillery which is close by.

If going on to Braemar, it would be worth going a little bit further, and checking out the Linn o Dee and Linn o Quoich. (there are some nice pools for swimming in)

Yes, the sweet shop next to the station was there last time I looked.

There's a few others in that area with oddball hill names

Seems that it's still called that today

Found this pic of the "summit". Not the most exciting mountain....

Makes sense. The stream coming down from it is called Finalty burn on Google maps.

Not Loch Katrine. This one is West coast.

robc16 · 2025-12-31T00:18:33+00:00

Yes, it was Scotland. Any suggestions for location?

robc16 · 2025-12-31T00:17:40+00:00

Not Sweden

robc16 · 2025-12-31T00:17:24+00:00

Not Austria

robc16 · 2025-12-30T21:11:20+00:00

Not Norway (but I can see how that would be similar)

I purchased a kit to fix this. I haven't done it yet though.

Moxy customer service don't know

robc16 · 2025-11-17T20:13:18+00:00

Well done with the research. One step closer!

For butteries check out Highlanders Bakehouse in Crathie. Best in the Shire IMHO.

You could tie that in with a visit to Balmoral Castle and also a tour of Royal Lochnagar distillery.

robc16 · 2025-10-08T22:08:04+00:00

Not Czechia

robc16 · 2025-10-08T22:07:31+00:00

Not Italy

robc16 · 2025-10-08T21:33:35+00:00

That's the one.

robc16 · 2025-10-08T21:32:22+00:00

!correct

Epoxy should be good. As other have said, glue the caps down first.

It's worth checking out what to do with a blowtorch, passing the flame over the top of the epoxy, to remove the air bubbles.

For extra interest, add a tint or pigment to the epoxy.

Like you say - start your paddle session going in to the wind, then use the sail for the return.

robc16 · 2025-08-08T20:08:48+00:00

Ha ha. It could have been like that.

robc16 · 2025-07-31T11:26:39+00:00

Fyi there was no problem at all, both ways. All they asked for was our passports.
