The first real "reworked" ZSWatch prototype is assembled, running, and confirmed working! This is the small watch PCB we have been working toward after validating the larger DevKit. We also have an initial case, the heart-rate extension PCB is working, the speaker is alive, and the companion app has some new microphone and watchface features.
