Inspiration

When I had an analog watch, my responses to "what time is it?" were suitably vague. Now that my watch is smart (and, consequently, digital) I don't generally have an excuse not to say exactly what time it is. So I created a watchface that was as vague, grumpy, and uncooperative as I can be, when pressed for the time.

What it does

It's a watch face for the Pebble Time Round which, rather than displaying the exact time, gives phrases such as "It's about two." or "I don't know." The use case is: someone asks you what time it is, and without using your brain at all, your read what's on the watch.

How I built it

Read the docs on Pebble's website, consumed excessive quantities of caffeine.

Challenges I ran into

Pebble's C libraries are short on just enough functions to be irritating.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • First hackathon
  • First time doing anything with a smartwatch

What I learned

  • Hackathons are fun
  • Watches are cool

What's next for what-time

  • Other pebble models
  • More interesting display
  • External API integration e.g. Weather
