Enthusiast built an Apple Watch that doesn't require charging at all
For assembly, he used parts from the first generation of smartwatches.
Blogger Jack Spiggle shared instructions for assembling the watch, as well as a list of spare parts that are needed for this case. He also posted a photo of the device.
Spiggle decided to implement the idea by purchasing the 1st generation Apple Watch. He spent $50 on them. The refurbished device only held a charge for 4 hours and hadn't received any software updates since 2020, so Jack seemed like the best candidate for a rebuild.
In addition, Spiggle purchased a Seiko NH38 movement, mineral glass, hands, rotor, Côtes De Genève, a nitrile seal, a piece of bronze, a brass tube, and a few other parts. To begin with, the enthusiast created several prototypes, and later proceeded to install the components in the Apple Watch case.
As a result, Jack managed to get a classic mechanical watch with manual winding and autonomy of 40 hours. A complete list of parts and assembly instructions are available at instructables.com.
