A new update is coming for TimeSmith that will have a feature or two that only work with Andras’s watch. That’s because Andras’s watch has built-in features that other watches don’t have. Time (pun intended) to forget about the Nobody Knows boys.

Thanks Mark I just wished it had a second hand particularly now they have cracked how to freeze it . That’s the only thing to me that makes it look unconventional . I know some watches don’t have second hands but they are far less suspicious looking and don’t look Hybrid at all if they do have one imo

Does the Turner watch have a built-in accelerometer? I suspect not. Firmware alone can't add one either.

The new firmware update from Andras speeds up the movement of the hands (on the Andras watch) when the “magic” happens. The hands can also move in both directions (like other hybrid watches). Andras shared a video demo, the hands are very quick!
The firmware update will be installed by the magician. There won’t be a need to send the watch back to Andras. Andras expects to release the firmware update in April (no specific target date has yet been given). I’m very pleased to own a watch and app from creators that truly care about their customers and offer top-notch support of their products. Mark

Thanks Mark I am presuming all new watches bought say from May onwards will be preloaded with this firmware update ? Best wishes Gaz 😊
Ps I am only holding off this because I believe a new remote input is on the verge of release and that’s the input method I want the most . However I want the best and this new remote is supposed to be a game changer 😊 |

Andras posted in the Facebook group that his stock of watches is getting on the low side. He plans to order additional stock in April. Once the new firmware has been released, I assume that Andras will preload the new firmware on any watch (regardless of when it was made) before he ships it.
I anxiously await Andras's pocket watch version. I will order it the moment it is available. I will keep the wristwatch too. Mark

Thanks Mark I too would buy the pocket watch over the wrist watch at a heart beat . Any idea on the possible progression of a release date on that ? Best wishes

Benke has just updated the app and there's also the new firmware for the watch (Andras's watch). The firmware is being rolled out (slowly, just to make sure there are no problems). I was able to update the firmware on my watch this morning and it is lightning fast now. I wasn't unhappy with the speed of the watch before but now it is really cooking. And still extremely accurate too!
See the TimeSmith Facebook group for details! Mark

The latest version of TimeSmith has now been released to all TimeSmith customers. After installing TimeSmith version 1.3.27, owners of Andras's brand of watch can then install the latest firmware on their watch.
The new watch firmware not only has the fast mode mentioned above, but Benke has also added a TURBO mode. That's three different speeds for the watch hands.... normal, fast and TURBO. 
See the TimeSmith Facebook group for details and links to installation guides. Mark

FYI, the TURBO mode is kind of experimental. It's CRAZY fast but may not be as accurate. But, not to worry, the new FAST mode is PLENTY fast enough. Plus you can also choose whether the hands move in only one direction, or go in both directions. So, FAST combined with both directions is the bomb!
Benke & Andras continue to deliver some of the best product support in the magic business! Mark

I managed to 'transplant' a Fossil Q Hybrid watch mechanism into a
vintage looking pocket watch case. It works very well so I think I'll make some more! https://youtu.be/-SghJxtQcM0

I'm definitely interested in buying the TimeSmith app and running it with a Fossil watch. Can anyone tell me:
1) Will the Fossil watches have all the same capabilities as the SB watches when integrated with the TimeSmith app? 2) Will any Fossil Hybrid watch work with the app, or is there a list of the ones that work with the app? 3) I would like to control the watch with my voice and an iPhone. Can anyone comment on the environmental characteristics (surrounding noise) and placement of the iPhone that may be needed to make this consistently workable? I'm interested in wearing the Fossil watch everyday, and maybe changing it up from time to time. I would want this to be an impromptu "miracle" I could perform on the spot for folks wherever I might be. Thanks for any thoughts you can share. Ken |
