"The DIY version of the Ollee Watch one, which requires you to already have one of six different supported Casio watch models (including the F-84W, A159W, A171W, and W-59) is available now for $54.99. If you're not confident in tackling the upgrade yourself, which appears to take around six minutes, the company also sells the Casio F-91W-1 and A158W-1 preinstalled with the upgrade for $99.99, but it's currently sold out."
"The upgraded mainboard includes an accelerometer for step counting and an upgraded audio buzzer that will alert you when you've reached a goal you set using an accompanying iOS and Android mobile app. The upgrade also adds a temperature sensor, an improved LED backlight that lets you adjust the color or use your watch as a flashlight, world time functionality, and the option to create five timer presets."
"There's no notifications, and while the Ollie Watch One does include alternate watch faces, it doesn't upgrade the basic segmented screen that Casio includes. That being said, even with those screen limitations you can play a simplified version of Blackjack or a game called Ping that has you controlling a paddle to keep a bouncing ball up in the air."
The Ollee Watch One is a user-installable replacement mainboard for Casio models such as the F-91W, A158W and others. Installation requires only removing a few screws and clips and no soldering. The upgrade adds Bluetooth and mobile app connectivity for automatic time-setting, step counting, goal alerts, and personalization via an improved color-changing LED backlight. The board includes an accelerometer, upgraded audio buzzer, temperature sensor, world time, and five timer presets. It enables simplified games and alternate faces while retaining the original segmented display and without notification support. The DIY mainboard sells for $54.99; preinstalled watches were offered at $99.99.
