The MetaWatch is a brand name of discontinued smartwatches developed by Meta Watch, Ltd. Strata MetaWatch and Frame MetaWatch are digital smartwatches released in 2012, funded by raising money via the crowd funding platform Kickstarter.[10] MetaWatch was a company founded by former Fossil engineers.[11]
The first generation of MetaWatch watches was released as a development system in September 2011.[12] Two models were sold - analog with OLED displays (model WDS111, style AU1000) and fully digital (model WDS112, style AU2000). Both were provided with a clip for charging, flashing, and debugging.[13] For wireless connection, Bluetooth 2.1 is used via a TI CC2560 module.[14] As a serial RAM Microchip 23A640 serial is used.
Unofficial first and half generation was extended of Bluetooth 4.0 capability. Style numbers for these watches were AU2001 and AU2004.[15][16]
The second generation of MetaWatch had Bluetooth 4.0, a KXTI9 accelerometer instead of KXTF9 (using less active power), and larger battery. The 4 pins on the back of the case were multiplexed and could be either used with Spy-Bi-Wire (serialized version of JTAG) or serial out/ground. External serial RAM was larger. The clip provided with watches was for charging and reflash only. A JTAG clip for development could be bought separately.[17]
The company has since ceased operations.
