DESCRIPTION
The DIY Watch Soldering Kit is a hands-on electronics project that turns a stack of through-hole components into a fully wearable digital wristwatch. It's an ideal introduction to soldering for students, hobbyists, and maker communities who want to build practical skills while creating something they can actually wear.
The finished watch features a bright red LED 7-segment display housed in a clear acrylic case, paired with a soft silicone strap for everyday comfort.
Note: All components shipped unassembled; soldering required.
