I have added a new addition to my existing list of geek toys. This time it the programmable watch ez430 by Texas instruments.
Yes you heard it right; it is a watch which you can (re)program 😉
Features
The following are some of its features
- MSP430 with integrated <1GHz wireless transceiver
- On-board 3-axis accelerometer
- Pressure sensor
- Temperature sensor
- Battery voltage sensor
- 96-Segment LCD display driven directly by CC430
- Includes an eZ430 USB emulator that connects the Chronos to a PC for real-time, in-system programming and debugging
- Can be paired wirelessly with other RF based devices
- And of course you can see time as well 😉

Here is a video introducing the watch by Texas Instruments
I am currently working on a couple of ideas like integrating this watch with Arduino etc. So stay tuned. Meanwhile if you see me waving hands in the air, look carefully, I might be controlling the nearby devices using gestures 😉
