There are many options in the market, yet there is no open source alternative, neither any initiative. I always loved open-source software &amp; hardware thus i decided to turn my smart watch project into an initiative for creating a smart watch alternative for all the other options out there in the market.<\/p>\n<p>Both software &amp; hardware design is very primitive so far but I am totally sure it is not far that we have fully functioning smart watches on our wrists that we can hack, modify &amp; re-design for our every need.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine having your computer, smart phone and your tablet on your wrist, SmartWatch is more than that because it packs all that computing power into a wristwatch form that you can actually wear in daily life. It is a dream waiting to become reality.
