{"product_id":"sparkfun-bigtime-watch-kit-discontinued","title":"SparkFun BigTime Watch Kit [discontinued]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SparkFun BigTime watch kit is a geekishly stylish digital watch with a NATO style watch-band and a slick acrylic enclosure. If it seems familiar, that's because it's essentially our open-source branch from the SpikenzieLabs' Solder:Time kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the kit is the much-venerated ATMega328 using a 32kHz clock-source to keep time. To check the time, just press the button on the side of the watch and it pops up on a 4-digit 7-segment LED display. Thanks to some low-level hackery, the ATMega is running at super low power and should get an estimated 2 years of run time on a single CR2032 coin cell!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BigTime is a through-hole kit with a low parts count, so it makes a great project for beginning solderers. After you've finished soldering together the PCB, simply stack the acrylic pieces around it and screw them together with the included screws. Once that's done, pop in the coin-cell battery and go show off your nerd bling!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDid we mention that the watch kit is super hackable? An FTDI header is broken out to the side of the board and the watch firmware is running on top of a bootloader! This means that all you need to do to add your own code is to open up Arduino or Wiring and select \"Arduino Pro or Pro Mini 3.3V\/8MHz w\/ ATmega328\" as your board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of the watch uses brass inserts for a more secure enclosure. It also uses a new NATO style strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLithium Battery Shipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Due to courier restrictions, this product can only be shipped within England\/Wales.
