Hi all.
My regular watch get broken so I decided to buy some smartwatch. I bought MN2 because of low price (only cheaper smartwatch is ****ty live view), but it was too thick and had this strange charging cable. So I made it thinner and put miniusb port. There are some pics from creation:
First I disassembled clip, cut off clip mountings and cut out hole for this metal thing for custom straps.
Then I cut out hole for micro usb
soldering...
...and glue
side view of port
The metal thing is going to be a back partition of watch now, so it must be abraded because of battery and vibration motor.
and glued
I painted it with silver paint. It looks that bad because glue was too fresh and I couldn't abrade it. Now it's hard enough but it's on back so I don't care at this moment. Also metal thing got some schratches in progress.
there you can see how thin it is
and how it looks with custom strap
After few days of using I don't like it
Waking it up for seeing time is annoying, and what is more important there is no some notifications icon with clock. So if I'd like to see notifications I must wake him up and tap once again to see anything. Taking out phone is faster I'm using it only for running and I can't sold it because of this modifications. Damn my creativity
Sorry for language
