F*watch: A fully open electronic watch project featuring multiple sensors

This fully-open digital wrist watch is designed by a group of employees at CERN as a special present for one of their retiring colleagues who likes hiking and timing. The watch features multiple sensor units including GPS, pressure sensor, 3D-accelerometer, compass, and ambient light sensor. A 128×128 pixels LCD with backlight feature is used for front display. The watch also provides a MicroSD card slot for storage. Powered by a 500 mAh Lithium-ion battery, the project uses Silicon Labs’ EFM32 Giant Gecko ARM® Cortex®-M3 based 32-bit microcontroller as its brain.
