DSTIKE Deauther32 Watch MAX — ESP32-C5 Dual-Band Watch

Expandable Dual-Band ESP32-C5 Wi-Fi Assessment Watch

A portable, open-source development device designed for makers, developers, and authorized wireless network testing. The Watch MAX combines dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support with a larger 1.69-inch IPS color display, a 1000mAh battery, external antenna support, dual USB interfaces, and six breakout GPIOs.

What Is It?

The DSTIKE Deauther32 Watch MAX is the larger and more expandable version of the Watch MINI platform.

Powered by the Espressif ESP32-C5 RISC-V microcontroller, it supports wireless scanning and controlled assessment on compatible 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks. Its larger color display makes network information and operating status easier to read, while the external antenna connection and breakout GPIOs provide greater flexibility for development and experimentation.

The Watch MAX is intended for open-source development, wireless technology education, network diagnostics, and authorized security assessment.

Why Did We Make It?

The Watch MINI was designed to be compact and easy to carry. However, developers working on extended tests or custom hardware projects may need a larger display, longer operating time, external antenna support, and access to additional GPIOs.

The Watch MAX was created for these users. It retains the portable watch-style design and ESP32-C5 dual-band platform while adding:

• A larger 1.69-inch color display

• A higher-capacity 1000mAh battery

• External antenna support

• Six breakout GPIOs

• Separate native USB and UART interfaces

This makes the Watch MAX suitable for both portable wireless assessment and custom ESP32-C5 development projects.

What Makes It Special?

• Dual-Band Capability: Supports scanning and controlled packet testing on compatible 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.

• Larger Color Display: The 1.69-inch, 240 × 280 IPS display provides more space for menus, network information, and monitoring data.

• 1000mAh Battery: Provides longer operating time than the Watch MINI. Actual runtime depends on screen brightness, wireless activity, firmware settings, and connected hardware.

• External Antenna Support: Allows developers to use a compatible antenna suited to their testing environment and local radio regulations.

• Dual USB Architecture: Separate native USB and UART interfaces provide greater flexibility for firmware flashing, debugging, and development.

• Six Breakout GPIOs: Connect compatible sensors, modules, buttons, or other hardware for custom projects.

• ESP32-C5 RISC-V Platform: Provides dual-band wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi 6 capability, and a modern development platform for experimentation.

• Open-Source Firmware: Developers can inspect, modify, and extend the firmware for their own projects and authorized testing requirements.
