Kickstarter Project: Bangle.js 2 is a Hackable, Open Source Smartwatch runs on JavaScript with two weeks standby time

Looking for an open source smartwatch you’re in total control of? If so, check out the Bangle.js 2 which is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. This hacker-friendly piece of horological hardware is the brainchild of Espruino developer Gordon Williams. Much like Williams’ earlier efforts in this area, the Bangle.js 2 runs on JavaScript.

An open-source online “app store” is also available where you can browse apps created by others, and quickly ‘download’ them to the watch itself wirelessly.

The watch is an off-the-shelf model from China. However, all of the software and firmware that runs on it is open source, having been reverse engineered and retro-fitted to it.

Gordon Williams has run 4 crowdfunding campaigns before and delivered on all of them, which should offer some reassurance should you need it.
