Dedicated tinkerers can even upload and run their own code on the watch via a micro-USB port on the rear of the device, which is also used for charging. Clayton and his team have even included a proprietary I/O port that will connect to future products, including “breadboard interfaces, development enclosures, and robotic systems” and “an enclosure replicating the main chassis of the original Apollo guidance computer.”

The company is also teasing future miniaturized circuit board designs that DSKY watch owners can install and program into the watch. 

Of course, the wrist computer can also serve as a count-up/down timer, alarm, and stopwatch and show the time and date in various formats. Integrated GPS functionality also allows the watch to automatically adjust the timezone and free roaming, waypoint and spot fix GPS navigation options. 

Purchasing and Availability

Apollo Instruments

Apollo Instruments is now taking pre-orders for the DSKY Moonwatch in black and brown strap options. A deposit of £240.00 (~$302) will reserve a spot in line. A remaining balance of £409 (~$515) will be collected immediately before the watch is ready to ship. As of right now, though, Apollo Instruments isn’t sharing exact details on when units will ship, though it is apparently targeting Q1 of 2025. 

The company also has clarified that the DSKY Moonwatch isn’t a limited edition, although given production constraints, it’s likely to remain rare for quite some time.
