The first kite boarding sessions with the glued watch were a success. It survived many hours, massive impacts, bodydragging, etc. with the watch under water and heavy water pressure. Here a photo with the watch and my wetsuit.
Handling the watch in everyday life without the button using tabs works well for me.
So now I am thinking if this can be useful for anyone else? I could give the 3D printed watchcase a try, because the glue looks bad and won't last forever. The result could be a tutorial explaining how to make the 3D printed backcover waterproof, reassemble the watch. Supplying the print model and the code for the buttonless mode.
I could even imagine ready to buy kits in your shop with the unglued parts, but I think the watch is no longer produced? So maybe for the bangle 3, where I still believe that buttonless is the only way to create an affordable 5 or 10 atm watch. But bangle 3 is not coming soon? Also some people like their buttons and barometer. So maybe think about offering it in two flavors or offer a watch and a buttonless smartband?
It would be some work to make my prototype code ready for a PR and I guess we would have to discuss how to handle some details. So I would only do that if there is a real demand otherwise I am happy that I have a waterproof watch now and learned a lot about programming for an embedded device.
