> To add the secret to the watchface code, you need to convert it to hexadecimal bytes. This cryptii.com page will allow you to do that conversion. Note you’ll have to enter your TOTP secret in uppercase.

I wouldn't be comfortable entering my TOTP secret into a random web page. In Linux (Ubuntu here, probably other distributions as well) you might have the `base32` and `od` tools already installed (package 'coreutils').

Otherwise the project is awesome (just the watch is fugly :))

The board is also compatible with the A158W and A171W, they look much better.

Now I'm wondering what a fashionable young man's watch is supposed to look like. I think the synthwave aesthetic is really cool but maybe it's just me.

F91W from the article is unironically cool now (and has been since forever afaik). Especially in streertwear circles. I’ve legitimately seen plenty of people from early 20s to mid 30s wear F91WF, with Balenciaga tier of the outfit to match. From the streets to night clubs to literally anywhere, both men and women. Definitely not the “socks and sandals and polo shirts crowd.”

Hell, there are photos of Obama wearing it well during his early days[0].
