r/olleeWatch

I've tested the Ollee Watch on as many Casio models as I can get my hands on. It's grown into quite a collection, here are just a few of them that I've kept in pretty good shape :).

My favorites are still the F94 (unofficially supported), and the A158WA gold (not pictured here, it's pretty banged up). Those I wear daily. For the EL my favorite's the second one pictured here with the negative display, it's probably the most elegant piece of them all. I'm excited to see folks share their EL-compatible builds, hopefully soon!

The suspense is over! I'm happy to announce the Ollee Watch EL, compatible with all A168 and F-105W models. There were a lot of moving parts (and a couple pre launch hiccups), but the new model is stocked and ready to ship.

Check out the blog for more details and the installation guides and front page are now up to date - Ollee Watch EL Blog Post.

Thanks everyone!!

I'm trying to enable my ollee Casio to pay since I saw the mod of Matteo Pissani where he extracts and re-coils a debit card chip into a 3D printed face. (idk if links are allowed but you can find their article on medium)
But I'm lazy, so I bought a Curve payment wearable that looked small enough and easily extractable. I thought it would be some kind of sticker like the NTAG213 I received with the ollee board but after extracting it, I found out it is a rigid piece shorter but wider than the sticker.
I tried to put it under the face like the "alternative" sticker position but it is too rigid and thick to fit. And under the backplate it's too far to detect.
I kinda have ran out of ideas, do you have suggestions what to try ?

I changed my battery something like 2 or 3 weeks ago. Right before lunch today I noticed the watch was reset and was curious what the voltage was.

When I got into the app I saw there was a firmware upgrade and started it, but the upgrade failed. No matter how many times I restart it it fails and my watch is stuck on the boot screen.

Occasionally I see the boot screen blink and I wonder if it fails due to battery being low, but that would be a bit crazy right? Since the battery was only JUST changed.

Also, there is apparently no way to "brick" the watch according to the site FAQ, so if the blinks indicated a loss of power, wouldn't my device just boot to the previous firmware after power loss?

I guess I have 3 questions:

-Does anyone else seeing the boot screen notice if the screen blinks frequently?

-Has anyone else had issues with the latest firmware?

-Does it make sense for batteries to die so quickly? Like I get that the 1 year estimate is an "estimate", but the battery I used was brand new, so it does feel like it died a bit too quickly

I would love to see a RFID BAND to open smart doors, I was investigating a little bit and my solution was getting this one https://www.amazon.com/13-56MHz-Silicone-Wristband-Changeable-Rewritable/dp/B098X38T98?pd_rd_w=wqMA1&content-id=amzn1.sym.d415d23a-1fac-4df7-af3b-52331062bd8c&pf_rd_p=d415d23a-1fac-4df7-af3b-52331062bd8c&pf_rd_r=YWZ12NZYWVA8R3YAWMZ7&pd_rd_wg=JCG9P&pd_rd_r=0ce981ce-4ba3-4818-9937-9b4d6009a173&pd_rd_i=B098X38T98&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_1_t

I extracted the chip and then I encapsulated with plasti dip and then just tape it with electrical tape to my watch like this it works, but I would like to have something more elegant, something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0GL284721/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=A3NCMB4W1QF82S&th=1

but on silicone or something.

what about to take OLLIE to another level with an accessory like this? any ideas?

Also I found this on alibaba https://spanish.alibaba.com/product-detail/RFID-Fabric-Wristband-13-56Mhz-NFC-1600950157306.html?chatToken=U1ZkdVJIVkhVRXB3VVd0MVF6QnFTSEJEV21jNEt6SmtiMnBMZWprNGIxVlNlRGRFYm05WmJXa3JlRzlZU2xoNFZVSjRSV0Y2V0dkTVMyWm1Mell4UTJJclNFeFVaRlkwUW5SelVITnZOWFJyU0hRMU1EQktkakF3T1VjMGQybDBhRXRoTW5oSVJVY3ZNakZ4UVhsNE5uZGlMeTlOYkdOSlN6ZE5LemR3YTNocFZVMTVjekE0YVc5TldVd3ZaWGR2WW5SSVJVZGlRa0l5THpKek1TdEROMnRGWVRaTk4wcFZMMnhDYWxGdmJEWkNMMFl6ZUhsclIyNDBkRGxsYms1SiZ2ZXJzaW9uPTIuMC4w&encryptTargetLoginId=8pctgRBMALP%2FglSGu1cup%2FJuxc6nfo5p6wdkfYSa%2Bs4%3D

this company has a lot of cool stuff, but I didn't ordered because its too expensive.

BTW the specifications for the RFID chip are: ISO14443A, a working frequency of 13.56Mhz and 1KB memory with chip rewritable. I tested this kind of chip and it works with apple smart doors and its basically what hotel doors use
