Repurposing a Wear OS Smartwatch as a Smart Gear Shift Display A DIY maker has repurposed an old smartwatch into a custom gear knob with an integrated display. Instead of letting the aging smartwatch collect dust, the project reuses its display, sensors, and processing hardware inside a 3D-printed gear shifter housing. The result is a unique modification that displays the vehicle's current gear position directly on the gear lever itself. What I… |
