You know the one I’m talking about: that chaotic nest of tangled cables, forgotten adapters, and mysterious dongles that looks like a digital snake pit (yeah, exactly like that mess in the photo below).

Sensorwatch pro – Hackable ARM Cortex M0 brain upgrade for Casio's iconic F-91W
(crowdsupply.com)
Sensor Watch Pro is the most advanced version of Sensor Watch yet. In addition to its 9-pin connector for interfacing with external sensor boards (like the included accelerometer board add-on), it adds an RGB LED, an infrared light sensor, a voltage boost for the piezo buzzer for extra volume, and a soldering-free installation experience. It’s also, as a watch, extremely accurate thanks to its software-defined temperature compensation; with fine tuning, Sensor Watch Pro can drift less than a second per year.
