Y’all, that was fast! In just 23 hours, 236 backers pledged $10,010 to bring Sensor Watch into this world — and those numbers keep climbing. Over 300 of you have ordered a watch, and some of you have ordered two! I’m blown away by the interest in this humble project, and so grateful to everyone who pledged their support to make Sensor Watch real. To be honest, I imagined this first update would be a longer deep dive into some of features of the watch, but we’ll move that to next week. For now, just a quick update about where we are and what comes next.

First up: the goal of this campaign has always been to create a community around the Sensor Watch hardware; to that end, check out the Sensor Watch discussion board on GitHub, where folks are already asking questions and talking about things that they want to do with Sensor Watch. You can also reach out directly to me at the Ask a Technical Question link on the campaign page — I’ve already answered a few questions there!

Second: if you’d like to see a demonstration of the latest features of the watch, I’ll be joining Adafruit’s weekly Show and Tell this evening at 7:30 PM EST. (That’s soon!) I plan to share some of the excitement about the campaign, as well as a demonstration of some of the newest watch faces like the Battery Monitor, World Time, and the TOTP watch face (by backer Wesley Ellis)!
