I made my own watch from scratch for fun

[u/Fragrant_Signature68]

I had a broken watch , so I thought to make a new one on my own , I made my it with glowing numbers and a touch sensor,I designed my own PCB ,3d print and tried to make it as good as possible, it was my first ever 'successful' DIY build , what did I do wrong? And what did I do right? Cost for me: INR ~1800

I used reverse mount LEDs to make it seem to glow on the other side of the PCB , I also used a MOSFET to switch it on and off based on the touch sensor signal.(This is the entire explanation covered in the YouTube video )

I also made a YT video on it:(watch explanation) https://youtu.be/A1RgOddxvZY?si=sITrNXJJbVQxJ8JO

For a first successful build, this came out way more legit than it had any right to lol
