Inspired by DYPLED, this Wristwatch Uses BPW34 PIN Photodiodes, Supercapacitor for Power

Peter Misenko’s wristwatch is one-of-a-kind with a 25x8mm 3V 5F supercap as the power source, mounted in such a way that the backplate of the watch is essentially flat (and surprisingly thin!):

Check out the full wristwatch project here and the DYPLED project that inspired this build (and perhaps your next thin LED display project!) here.
