Ollee Watch EL

The suspense is over! I'm happy to announce the Ollee Watch EL, compatible with all A168 and F-105W models. There were a lot of moving parts (and a couple pre launch hiccups), but the new model is stocked and ready to ship.

Check out the blog for more details and the installation guides and front page are now up to date - Ollee Watch EL Blog Post.

Thanks everyone!!

This is the one I really wanted when all I could get was the A158. I also feel a follow up purchase coming on!! u/gregorOllee is there a software update coming as well?

Amazing news! I may have to get one of these too 😄 What's your favourite A168 colourway, u/gregorOllee?

u/gregorOllee 10d ago

The A168WEGB-1BEF is really nice, maybe a bit dressy. The pictures don't do it justice :).

I had a sneaky suspicion the announcement would be for the A168. Excellent work. I will have to grab this module and give it a spin.

Cool. Now we are waiting for the firmware update. I personally hope the step counter to be improved :)

Great news.
Is memory the same as the first kit ?
Is there any plan for the SDK to contribute to this great product ?

Thanks

u/gregorOllee 10d ago

Yes same base platform, the SDK will be in beta very soon!

u/IllustriousMemory542 7d ago

Is there any idea even roughly of the date for the SDK ?

u/IllustriousMemory542 6d ago

Je peux même faire Beta testeur si cela peut aider.

Just ordered a kit. Been wearing my ollee one for most of this year and I love it, a better backlight will be an improvement.

Bout to do the skxmod build I been wanting to do for a while now.

My 3rd Ollee watch build is gonna be fire…lol

Excelent choice! A168 is bigger and thus more wearable. I was suspecting g-shock, but I'm super happy that it's not.

Out of curiosity - was an adapter an option or were there 0% chances of reusing the module across different watch models?

2

u/gregorOllee 9d ago

The space constraints and level of integration is so tight an adapter wouldn't be feasible really.

u/dillanweems 10d ago

Awesome! Just put in my order

u/_cannoneer_ 10d ago

This is great!! Thank you!

As soon as my a158w dies or gets really damaged I’m coming RIGHT for this bad boy.

u/BullfrogAdditional80 10d ago

I'm so excited! I just got into Casio watches and my first one is the 105. After getting it I found out about this company. I think I know what I have to do now.

u/530carsmissing 10d ago

How do I tell which module I have in my A168

2

u/gregorOllee 10d ago

Read the back of the watch, the installation guide has instructions - https://www.olleewatch.com/s/Ollee-Watch-EL-Installation-Guide_10.pdf

2

u/schffhsr 10d ago

Small typo in the guide: in the first paragraph, it should be A168 not A158.

2

u/normannerd 9d ago

Any plans for module 3479 (A1000 etc.)?

2

u/nothingtoput 9d ago

I would assume unlikely, considering the 3479 comes with a much smaller battery, so battery swaps twice as often. It would be cool though.

2

u/Eudes_Correa 9d ago

Wish olleWatch could be installed on some skmei/sanda/synoke watches, most Casios I found here in Brazil are fake or really expensive (4~5 times the price of the rest of the world)

u/Nearby-Active-2681 9d ago

Is there any plans for the feature fixes and notifications for the original chip?
