Do CircuitMess watches have a heart-rate sensor, a touchscreen or NFC?

No heart-rate sensor, touchscreen or NFC on the NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 or Clockstar 2.0: they are watches you learn on and code, and here is what each one does have.

Not on the NASA Artemis Watch 2.0 or Clockstar 2.0. Both are watches you learn on and code, not fitness trackers, so neither has a heart-rate sensor, a touchscreen or NFC. Here is what each one does have.

NASA Artemis Watch 2.0

  • Heart rate: no. There is no heart-rate, blood-oxygen or other health sensor, and no GPS.

  • Touchscreen: no. You control it with its physical buttons.

  • NFC: no, so no tap-to-pay and no tag reader.

  • What it does have: an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and temperature sensor, Bluetooth to pair with your phone, daily activity tracking, and headers for connecting external sensors of your own.

Clockstar 2.0

  • Heart rate: no.

  • Touchscreen: no.

  • NFC: no.

  • What it does have: a display, a gyroscope, an accelerometer and Bluetooth, with the time, date, an alarm and a stopwatch built in.

Orion Watch

Orion Watch is controlled with its button wheel and buttons, and it has LEDs and a vibration motor you can code. Paired with your phone, it shows notifications, controls your music, works as a camera remote and, on Android, can find your phone. See Orion Watch and your phone.

Wearing it near water? See Is the Artemis Watch waterproof?

Looking at MAKERphone 2.0? It has no built-in NFC reader either.
