How to convert the StopWatch into a wrist-worn controller with Vibewatch

Modify the official M5Stick watch mount so the round StopWatch can be worn on the wrist while moving around.

Who it is forA developer who wants the AI controller available while standing, walking, or working away from a desk.

The problemThe StopWatch has no wrist mount of its own, and the official kit is built for rectangular M5Stick devices.

The outcomeThe StopWatch is bonded to a modified mount and nylon strap that passed a firm pull test, ready to wear.

What you need first

  • M5Stack StopWatch
  • A macOS computer with Bluetooth
  • PlatformIO Core installed
  • A USB connection between the StopWatch and the computer for upload

Steps

  1. Remove the plastic mount from the device and strap, then use flush cutters or small nippers to cut away the raised M5Stick retaining hooks a little at a time.
  2. Trim burrs and sharp edges until the mount has a flat bonding surface, then clean and fully dry both surfaces.
  3. Cut high-strength double-sided tape to fit inside the mount footprint, keeping buttons, connectors, and openings clear.
  4. Center the mount on the back of the StopWatch, press firmly, and let the adhesive reach its specified bond strength.
  5. Refit the nylon strap and perform a firm pull test before wearing the device.

Prompt for your agent

Using the GOROman/vibewatch repo's wrist-mount steps, list the tools and parts needed to convert an M5Stack StopWatch into a wrist-worn controller. Report the checklist in order. Verify that every step includes the instruction to pull-test the mount before wearing.

Caveat. The conversion requires cutting plastic and bonding the mount with adhesive, and the README asks for eye protection and a firm pull test before wearing.
