One of those impractical things you will never do yourself, but really cool and fun to watch.
***** I'm sure it will work and I'm sure it will be cool. But you can't compare it to a $350 smart watch as this will be really thick (remember, it also needs a battery) and the display is of course not as good as what a $350 watch would have. It will also probably look very home made as you can't really produce proper casing for it. In this case, you get what you pay for.
gtjack9 True. But to get a good result you also need to but a LOT of effort into it.. And also know what you're doing..
You can buy a smartwatch with touch screen for about 15 Dollars on ebay already, 350 is for the Apple Watch
+David Its very complicated. not because the price, but we are either uncapable / too lazy to do ig
It's been a while since I started this project. I am adding more features like shake to dismiss call, change music on tap etc.
I have the same exact phone, which I've taken apart out of boredom years ago and couldn't fully put back together because I lost some screws, so this video is perfect! I just need an Arduino and the skills to do this now :(
I love this channel so much I clicked the Ad to let the owner earn some 💰
instructions unclear: ended up playing the old games in the phone just for the memories

This is my comment on the watch and LCD. I use this type of LCD all the time it is for great use. But my question is what real time clock are you going to use? Will it get the time and date from your phone or have it's own?
yuss this is a video I've been waiting for for ages
+Extreme Builds SAM use it to break through walls.
+Tohka YH only 3310 nokias thp
+Tohka YH tho
How I make a smartwatch out of an old phone:
1. Take old phone.
2. Tape it to wrist.
3. Done.
Hi
Smart Idea 👍
I actually have 2 of those Nokia 1100 phones in my cell phone collection! (One works fine and the other one i accidentally locked permanently because i was a bit of a bonehead at that time)
You killed me when I saw the Part 1.
Why do you do this :'(
I'm such a tease ;-)
+Tinkernut and why is it only 4 min long ? :(
Honestly, there's only so much I can get done in 2 weeks. I got a little bit further than shown in the video, but I had to split it up into sections that made sense...I couldn't just stop in the middle. So we have the LCD section, next one will be the communication/functionality section, and the final one will be the power & casing section.
I can't wait, MAN! You literally can make anyting.....
Awesome, really waiting for this. The best part is it looks simpler than I expected. :)
Nice video. Looks very promising, I can't wait to see the final product.
I have Nokia 6020 LCD but couldn't find library for it.
I don't wanna waste it
Your tutorial presentation design is awesome! Didn't understand much about the Arduino and stuffs, but I really dig your design taste!
hey, nice work. I have Nokia E72 (with GPS etc). Is it possible to convert it into a smart watch with GPS ? it would be amazing
Why not using colored LCD ? And using wearable arduino "like Gemma"
Good luck, waiting for part 2 🤓
color LCD's require a lot more components to make them run.
Very excited for this project, great idea. Would love to see a simple heartbeat reader in a further iteration? Just a thought.
I actually purchased one as well as a gyro/accelerometer to track movement. Don't know if it'll make it into this first iteration, though.
it's a great project but why did not you use an Arduino LCD module? It is much easier
I'm guessing it is because the point was to reuse older cellphones for a new purpose.
true
What's thr point of thr video if he used Arduino LCD duhhh
+NA the*
I'm really wanting to do this with a color nokia X2. I'd like to use the phone os and just load an app to communicate over bluetooth but the phone pcb doesn't seem easy to fold or cut in half... :/
You are a true nerd in a good way
This is cool I want more! Also, amazing animations! just wish the bottom tips were there a little longer, I had to pause to read it sometimes
Noted! Thanks!
hey tinkernut i was just wonderin could you reply to one of my questions in the blutooth rc car android video plz? thnx, love the vid btw.
+Tinkernut Please upload part 2
+Tinkernut My standard of a smartwatch is: (1) It must have at least 7 apps including a web browser. (2) It must have an app store. (3) All of the criteria that you brought up.
that's cool I didn't know you can connect those screen to arduino.
This project will be nice!!! it would be fun if you make videos how to make dupstep the way professional people make it.
At 2.11, you show the pinout with 9 pins - one NC and then 8 more numbered 1 to 8.
In the next shot when you're soldering wires onto the connectors, there are only 8 pins, which agrees with the LCD that I have. So I guess your pinout diagram is wrong (sourced elsewhere, perhaps?)
I am a teenager, but my phone is a nokia 1100! its as old as myself. it is nearly indestructable!
what about using the battery and battery charging and control circuit?
I have micromax X772.....Will the same procedure apply?..Reply please....

It'd be brilliant if you made it work from a Pi Zero (not sure of the size comparison to be honest, probably a tad too big) but then it could be it's own standalone device. :D
Issue with Pi is Linux is not as barebone as Audrino. So one is going to have to put more work into it (as I've noticed it's going to be like for project).
That would be a much better option, but the Pi Zero was still too large for a watch.
Yeah, thought so. Never actually seen a Nano myself so I wouldn't know.
Pity but oh well. I'm sure the rest of this series will be a brilliant watch still.
Yes, but as for software, a real OS can do a lot more. And, as I say, be standalone.
I know for a fact an Arduino is a lot more capable at hardware related things than a Pi's GPIOs but nonetheless.
Can you make a Go pro-like action cam from a salvaged camera of broken (literally broken) smart phone?
I need an engineer from India who can team up to build a better product.
🙏🏽🤙
A color LCD one can do better and is easy to use as well, and one question...... How long is the battery life???
Physical keyboard... we need a smartphone with this sereously
I miss my old calculator watch with a physical keypad. I was stylin' back then.
omg u replyed
TheSomeoneXD ...
NO SHIT M8
Can i use SMD resistors at the place of ordinary resistor
Dude __Re-Born the Nokia👍👍
You should try to do this with a old smartphone screen and see if you can get full color
Dude you are a genius.
That's really interesting !
Waiting part 2
You are great buddy. I've tried to solder and destroyed the connectors. How did you manage to do it?
Can you turn this screen to rca screen for use with raspberry pi and Thank you
Do you recommend any online course or pdf of arduino? I'd really like get into it but I don't know where to begin from.
If you search through my playlists, I should have one for Arduino, which should show some of the basics.
How big is that screen?
How to know if and what resistors to use? I wouldnt have used resistors when connecting the screen to the lcd, so why even?
I have a motorola l6 it has a Bluetooth can you make a video on it
where is the pin connection description ?
When I was young I had a Sony Ericsson phone it has a theme which called ever hanging which changes it's background and theme according to day time season and festivals its name was ever hanging it was also supported in Nokia s40 phones. I wish I have that theme in my watch or somehow make old Nokia phone as smart watch just to use this theme?
Love your Video, now I follow your Channel. Wait for more great ideas ;-)
Nice project. Is there a way to make it more compact and wearable?
My brain run away after watching that
I am trying to do something similar but I can't find the schematic for the LCD screen that I am using, where should I look? I am using an lg440g LCD
can this watch display readable messages and i think it should have some apps and when it is not connected it can be a stand alone watch
While I like watching your new projects, I miss the videos where I could actually try things at home
I'll mix those in...like creating an android app in 7 minutes. I have such a broad audience that sometimes it's difficult to make a single video that everyone likes.
Wow but how did you get the mother board did you buy it
Commenting for support!
Your the best Tinkernut but would you make avideo on how to make a watch from a touchscreen phone, i have samsung young . Please can you make avideo on same.
You're gonna wear a adrino on ya wrist. Good tinkering, but it still sounds funny lol.
Please please please release the second tutorial faster. I cannot wait!
What should i replace in the code to make an oled display work ?
Plz tell
is there anyway I could repurpose the phone as a more modern version of the 'dumb phone'?
2:50 Vivaldi user, are we? :P
i would use it but im crazy for chrome apps and they dont work properly on vivaldi
Chrome apps actually work on vivaldi! same with chrome extensions
+MobFactory: Andrea Signal-Desktop works, but I don't trust Vivaldi for private communication.
What?! How did I miss this one!
Hey dude the web site dont show the proyect
can we use some kind of oled or colour display???
i have a fairly old flipphone with a color lcd is it possoble for me to use that and take advantage of the color and suftware for that?
but I don't know will it be OK for the watch ?? pls tell
Your project is nice but is not good in our wallets try to buy nothing and lower the cost if any chemicals that can turn old pcb to bind and flexible to make round shape and try a jelly case material to his covering that attaches sticky.
I am so excited to make a smartwatch but having only a phone screen lol
Wow .. This must be. Over. 10YEARS ago 😮😮I last Visited. Your 'Face scanning' video , Channel 😂😂
Make a video about how to use iphone 4 display with arduino. Because those display is cheap and good resolution
I am the person who lead your video views to 700k !!!
I want to make a voice robot that can reply recorded answers for specific questions is it possible?
Of course it is
I think it was called a Chatterbot by voice.
coding can do almost everything!! :)
Can you make a key finder
Is there any way I can input my own very simple c++ programs in this? I mostly want this for a prototype presentation. I just need to add simple introduction to c++ code, stuff that is more simple than this, is it possible?
Awesome! Is there any way to re-use the logic controllers in an old phone instead of buying an arduino?
Also, if you use an ESP8266, it is arduino compatible and has Wifi built in.
could you transform a tablet screen into a monitor?
what language do u need to use? c++, c#?
Hey,
I have a nokia 6230i and a Siemens A76, can the screens on these devices work for the watch?
can I do something like this with an old android phone
I subscribed because the channel is awesome!
how I could adapt to the display of a Nokia 5110?
Why do you use no RTC for the time..? Its pretty easy..
One primary reason: conservation of space.
must....watch.....part 2!!!
I expected more parts of the Nokia to be salvaged :(
Is still okay, it's essentially an arduino with an LCD
Hey, nice tutorial, I'm interested to do it for my own fun, but I have a question , from where did u get the arduino libraries ,in the tutorial u have them already in ur pc, can u be more explicit, please? :-)
What are the names of the material?
is Arduino mini is same as Arduino micro
could you use a Nokia 5110 screen?
Dumb phone? Try beating up a nokia, see how that'll turn out :D
I have a ,LMS200FF04 LCD display ,can I get the pins for it
Can a camera from a phone be reused? No company shares the pins from it so I guess no,am I right?
OMG does it
Work
awesome idea! congrats!
what if connecting touch graphic screen to make one video player.? can u huhu
upload part 2 as fast as you can
Hi , I buy Nokia 3.1 plus 4g mobile and start 5g network and smartwatch supported 5g make ?
pi zero would be amazing for doing this
i tried to find the video length... it 404'd
How do u connect the arduino to a computer plz somebody
wouldn't waterproofing be easy?
What's idea about old phone camera? I have w700i, w810i. n70, n73 camera only....... Plz sir tell me
Can anybody help me to a new gadget from this phone model camera make video post link to me my what's app no 9878707190
