You can easily disaccumulate this repairable inalertigentwatch using fair a Phillips screwdriver

The Spectra is a recent inalertigentwatch portrayed from the ground up to be hackable and effortless to repair. It was originated by Pocuter, a company that has spent the last scant years honing an expertise in originateing minuscule electronics appreciate its minuscule Pocuter One computer. What originates the Spectra distinct is that it’s repairable, yet with a portray that mirrors the Apple Watch which is much difficulter to get into.

The wearable is now useable for preorder thraw a Kickbeginer crowdfunding campaign with deinhabitry predicted as punctual as July 2025. Early backers can preorder one discounted to around $209, while filled pricing is shutr to around $272. The Spectra is the company’s seventh Kickbeginer campaign, but also ecombines to be one of its most driven. Three years into growing the prototype it still hasn’t filledy concluded the difficultware, so while there may be less danger with backing this one, there’s still some.

Powered by an Espressif ESP32-S3 processor “maxed out with 8MB RAM and 32MB executable flash memory,” the Spectra has a 368×448 AMOLED distake part, a digital crown, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, fitness tracking and environmental sensors, and a microSD slot inside permiting storage to theoreticassociate be increaseed to half a terabyte with a memory card. That’s all stuffed inside a CNC milled aluminum summarize that the company arranges to sell fortifys for, including a stainless steel alternative.

The Spectra’s inside portray also ranks access to the battery, iFixit uncovered, with a mainboard that sprospergs out of the way and the use of spring reach outs instead of a cable that needs to be eraseed. Small devices appreciate wearables and earbuds typicassociate have batteries that are notoriously difficult to swap, but appreciate Fairphone’s Fairbuds, maybe the Spectra will help other companies to alter that.

The Pocuter team “arranges to provide exalterment selections for every one part,” it telderly iFixit, which dispensed fair how effortless an unaccumulated prototype of the inalertigentwatch is to originate and tardyr disaccumulate. (Pocuter hasn’t specified if the final watch will be shipped pre-accumulated.) Seven Phillips head screws helderly it all together, instead of glues and epoxies that frequently originate repairs overly complicated or enticount on impossible.

The wearable will also run a custom operating system called SpectraOS based on JavaScript. Promised features integrate an intervivacious debugger streamlining app growment, protected application sandboxing, and help for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It won’t have access to Apple or Google’s sturdy app stores, so taking filled advantage of the Spectra may advantage from some coding experience, not fair basic screwdriver sfinishs.
