This looks really handy. I know they're working on the design, but it would definitely need to be a lot more ergonomic and more attractive. I also hope they improve the buttons and the size/contrast of the text. If the watch buttons are anything like typical watch buttons, extended operation of the oscilloscope will be really annoying.

Kind of a novelty, but cool. Looks like they're going to hit their goal.

This is bulky and unattractive, but man I want one.

I had a calculator watch as a kid. Great idea, but not terribly useful due to poor ergonomics. Still, it undeniably had appeal. This is like a calculator watch for a new decade, but also for a greatly reduced audience (Fewer people use oscilloscopes than calculators). This doesn't seem likely to find much of an audience unfortunately, but a part of me still wants one!

Oscilloscope Specifications:

Maximum Sampling rate: 4MSPS

Analog Bandwidth: ---> 200kHz Arbitrary Waveform Generator Specifications

Maximum conversion rate: 1MSPS

Analog Bandwidth: ---> 50kHz This is certainly not the first project in the "super miniaturized hardware tools" category, and as much as I like the idea of having a single tricorder-like device that can replace a lab full of hardware, all of the similar projects that I've seen have fallen short in exactly the same way: analog bandwidth - the one spec that actually matters.

I would pay a lot of money for a miniaturized tool that took RF performance seriously.

What analogue bandwidth do you want? Does the device need to have a display, or is a USB device ok?

Max sampling rate (4MSPS) is too small. Note that for more or less proper measurement you need at least Sampling_rate=Freq*4. So, for something real you need 200MSPS or even more. Beside that the idea is very cool, would buy one.

Eagerly waiting for a Spectrum Analyzer Watch to pop up on Kickstarter any time soon. :-)

I'm sure, but how many others would, vs just using bulky equipment? I agree the analog bandwidth is quite limited here, but it's good enough for audio work, and there's a large potential market there among live sound engineers.
