It is a Free Fun Flexible Watch design by a team of 15 people with various backgrounds, the watch is a challenging project since in the end it can’t be the size of a lunch box, can’t weigh a pound and can’t be plugged into the wall for power. All of the electronics fit into a tiny printed housing and looks very functional. Check out the items that are stuffed inside listed below.
