Key Points:
- YouTube creator Strange Parts attempted to build a fully functional Apple Watch from scratch while in Shenzhen, China, collaborating with a team called Nest Works to reverse-engineer the device's hardware.
- Using 3D printing and clever machinery, they assembled the watch's aluminum frame, battery, screen, and sourced a working logic board, but had to ship the unfinished watch to the US to complete the build.
- Back in the US, Strange Parts successfully configured the logic board following Apple's iFixit guide, resulting in a smartwatch that closely replicated the real Apple Watch's interface and functionality, including apps like the heart rate monitor.
- The project aims to serve as a foundation for future modifications or versions of the Apple Watch, with Strange Parts expressing intentions
