Claude Code writes smartwatch firmware from scratch in three days

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user successfully utilized Claude Code (Opus 5.5) to develop a complete firmware for their 2020 smartwatch, named Kronograf. The process involved a structured approach, including a detailed brief, stage-by-stage development, and the use of a simulator for headless UI testing. While Claude Code handled the majority of the coding, human intervention was still necessary for physical hardware issues, debugging battery-specific bugs, and fine-tuning user-experience elements like wrist-raise thresholds.
