Pocuter Spectra is a hackable, repairable smartwatch with expandable storage and OLED display (crowdfunding)

The Spectra smartwatch features a 1.8 inch, 368 x 448 pixel OLED display, an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, and a custom JavaScript-based operating system called SpectraOS that’s built on the open source Moddable SDK.

What makes this watch stand out is that it’s designed to be a hackable and repairable device – you can open the watch by removing seven screws that hold it together and there are developer tools including APIs and optional accessories like a debugging board. The Spectra smartwatch is being developed by Pocuter, the company behind the coin-sized Pocuter One. The company has launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the smartwatch and hopes to begin shipping Spectra devices in July, 2025 to backers who pledge €199 (about $218) or more.

At this point, the Spectra watch is still a bit of a work-in-progress. Pocuter says the hardware is mostly ready, but the software is still under development.
