It comes with a unique laser cut acrylic casing which protects the watch and looks snazzy besides: the four individual acrylic parts cut to fit the internal PCB, battery and switch perfectly. Included is a velcro wrist band. After soldering the Solder:Time, the watch is built by stacking the acrylic parts with the PCB and holding it together with the included screws.

  1. How waterproof is this watch? I bike a lot and it rains at times, can it handle rain?

    Thanks, CH23

  2. @CH23 – this DIY watch kit is not meant to be waterproof or submerged. we are guessing light rain is ok, but it’s an electronic kit, not a watch designed to get really wet of course 🙂

  3. Thank you for your reply, it looks like an awesome watch so i think i’ll order it anyway 😉
