Hey everyone! As promised the Spring 2026 software update will go live Monday afternoon (EST) in the app stores. It might take a couple days to reach everyone, but in the meantime check out the feature highlight video. For all the details you can also read the blog post on the website. Enjoy :)
I went with the W59 as I wanted the extra confidence of the 50 m water resistance, while keeping that classic Casio look.
It's been on my wrist every day on holiday: swimming in the sea, in the pool, on the beach and in the heat (>32C) and it's been absolutely faultless. It's light and comfortable which is exactly what I want when I'm travelling.
I've aslo fitted an Ollee module, which has been a great upgrade!
I recently got the ollee watch and installed it the other day and everything worked well and I synced the time with my phone. After about 10 min, I noticed the time was off so I'd sync it again. Noticed it was a few minutes ahead again after a bit. After about an hour, the watch was 15 minutes faster than the actual time. Took a look and actually watched the face and noticed the watch was skipping seconds. I know it's common for the time to be off here or there but not this much. I'm not sure if it's something I could have done while installing it or what. Any recommendations?
I recently picked up an Ollee Watch and an a158w-9avt from https://www.ebay.com/itm/298213124486?var=595232851114
When I opened it up the PCB doesn't resemble those I see online at all, and the Ollee Watch PCB doesn't fit the case due to a large plastic spike in the way. Assuming this is a fake?
I am trying to achieve something with the Ollee. I want the screen to remain on but turn off if it not moved for some time.
For this, I have disabled Auto Sleep but enabled Motion Deep Sleep.
My understanding is that with the above, the screen might turn off while I am asleep and the watch is on the side table, but remain on while wearing it.
However, the screen remains on throughout the night. I have tested it multiple times throughout the day and the screen does not turn off. I tested it by leaving from minutes to hourd but to no avail.
Can anyone help or let me know if it's doable?
Thanks
Edit: I just noticed that both the Motion and Gesture settings are both disabled. Do I need to enable one of them for the above to work?
Hi all,
I just received the watch and am loving it so far. I've noticed that the "LAP" indicator is always on on my main watch face. I have disabled Bluetooth always on. Is there a way to switch the watch to turn Bluetooth off except when I want to sync?
Thanks!
Here’s something you don’t see everyday. A data bank prayer alarm. The alarms are set by the time zone and latitude and longitude
Hey ollee watch users, I wanted to ask if y’all think there is any possibility in the future for ollee watch support for the Casio a168 (in my opinion the superior Casio) I love the idea of the ollee watch but I can’t install it in my a168 but I would love to keep the electro lume with the smart features. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hey everyone! It's been a super busy and productive year. I wanted to give a quick update here on the upcoming software release and some tweaks to the roadmap. I'll have time in a few weeks to make a proper update on the website, but I have seen some questions popping up so hopefully this will shed some light on what's to come!
The Spring / Q2 2026 software update is around the corner. It's a sizable update so testing took a bit longer than expected. Expect a few new watch faces (some highly requested ones), configurations, and a couple key additions to the Ollee Watch app. This release should be public in about a week!
Development will quiet down a bit during the summer, but there are three major features I plan to have ready, or at least in beta, this year. They have different priority levels, and a release plan will be shared later. In no particular order:
Notifications: One of the most highly requested features. This one still needs quite a bit of background work to nail down a cross-platform (iOS+Android) solution, and one that makes sense from a user experience and battery life perspective. I'm confident there's a good middle ground for this one, it's just a pretty significant change in how the watch and phone were intended to interact. Right now it's very transactional, but notifications need persistence. This work will include looking into music controls, and find-my-phone may be scoped in after all.
Activity tracking: Improvements to the step counter accuracy, and adding more features for activity tracking (ie. distance, calories, sleep) will be strongly considered. Step counter accuracy is a must and some ground work has already been done to figure out how to tighten it up without compromising on the power consumption.
3rd Party Apps: This is the biggest one, and work on this is well underway. This widget will be called Ollee Forge, and the platform and execution model for this is looking very promising.
More details to come over the coming months. Thank you all for your posts, I thoroughly enjoy seeing people's builds and ideas for the project!!
I can't be the only person that has done this, surely?
I love the Ollee watch and for one key feature. I lose track of time really easily. I like the hourly chime but it can't go through the night (for sleeping & partner reasons). So I've always bought watches with 5 alarms so that I could set them at roughly key moments throughout the day. Now that we have a watch that can chime just through certain parts of the day. My dream watch has finally come true!
I really don't care about the other usual 'features' of the watch. I find it incredible I can turn off literally every other face of the watch and only have the time function with no silly switch between 12/24.
I know it may sound like I'm not maximising all of the features of the Ollee watch, but for me it's created the perfect watch.😂
Hi guys, I’m a longtime Casio fan interested in this watch mod. Definitely a multitude of cool features on this thing, but the one that would sell me instantly is weather data. Something showing conditions with the day text, current temp in the date area, and high and low temps in the hour and minute sections perhaps.
I know there’s an onboard thermometer which is cool but you’ll always get a mix of body and ambient temperature which just isn’t that useful to me.
Still buggy but got it rendering. Considering 2.4V as 0%
I love the idea of the Ollee watch but personally I would love more smart watch features.
Are any of these still in development?
“Background Services” - Spring 2026 (Q2 2026)
My Ollee module came in yesterday! I loved it, while it lasted. Dropped my F84W on my kitchen floor, display stopped working. Took the module out to put it into an A159, but the Ollee module didn’t work anymore. Went to put the original module back into the A159, the display wouldn’t function properly. Two watches, and Ollee dead. Be super gentle with disassembly. Ollee module is great, and loved it for the 20 hours I owned it.
I originally put my kit together into an f91 case, but I switched to an a158 case. When I transferred it over I had to switch the display cause I got some glue on the display and it was easier to just use the new one. I also brought over the NFC tag to see if it really doesn't work. When I transferred it though the battery disconnected and reset everything.
Side note: Have my profile copy over and save to my phone so I don't have to remember everything I had set before changing a battery.
The biggest problem I'm having is notion basically doesn't work. The step counter still works like normal for some reason, but motion wake and the heart rate tilt just don't work. I'm curious where the imu is on the PCB, maybe I bumped it when transferring, maybe I got something on it and shorted it out. But if the step counter is still working as normal then IMU should be fine, so is it a software problem or something to do with the case, maybe even the NFC tag?
I love the watch but would love the light button to be on the right. I love having the light button on the right. It's easier to press if you are right handed. I know for other people they don't care. But I would love love love this as a feature.
Is anybody else like me?
