A project log for WristPDA (Abacus) Battery upgrade

more than 3 times battery capacity, by building parts of the case/ housing entirely from scratch

OK, a bit of cleaning up. As you could imagine with all the self-made and other smartwatches, this has become kind of useless, since there is no software to sync this one maintained anymore.

My last attempt to do "something" with this was, to have a look if the inside of the watchy project fit inside. Well the is just 2mm missing to make the e-ink screen fit.

Plus the wristbands (which there are no replacements for and standard wristbands wont fit) are somewhat "dissolving" in one part and breaking into pieces on the other part. It's kind of a wired mix of leather-like material covered on the lower half with plastic.

The sad part is the really nicely build of the full stainless steel case of the "movement" itself.

I hope the logs of the GFK parts is still worth it, since the fiber reinforcement is something you can't do easily with a 3d printer.
