DSTIKE Deauther Watch X — ESP8266 Watch

Classic ESP8266 Wi-Fi Development Watch

The DSTIKE Deauther Watch X is a compact, open-source ESP8266 development device designed for makers, wireless technology education, firmware development, and authorized 2.4 GHz network assessment.

All versions combine a customized 4MB ESP-07 module, 1.3-inch OLED display, three-way navigation switch, rechargeable battery, programmable RGB LED, clock functionality, soft silicone strap, and protective transparent enclosure in a wearable format.

This listing includes both the classic color Watch X and the upgraded black Watch X II. Please review the version comparison before ordering.

The Watch X supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only. It does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

What Is It?

The Deauther Watch X is an ESP8266 development board integrated into a wearable enclosure.

It arrives with compatible ESP8266 Deauther firmware installed, providing an interface for wireless network scanning, signal observation, packet monitoring, clock display, and controlled protocol assessment on authorized 2.4 GHz networks.

The ESP8266 platform is also programmable through the Arduino IDE. Developers can replace the supplied firmware and use the display, buttons, RGB LED, buzzer, RTC hardware, and connection pads for custom wearable or IoT projects.

Why Did We Make It?

Most ESP8266 development boards require a separate display, battery, buttons, charging circuit, and enclosure before they can be used as a portable device.

The Watch X integrates these components into one compact platform:

• Customized 4MB ESP-07 module

• 1.3-inch OLED display

• Three-way navigation control

• Rechargeable battery and charging circuit

• Programmable RGB LED

• Buzzer on classic Watch X versions

• RTC hardware for timekeeping

• Sensor and expansion pads

• Transparent protective enclosure

• Soft silicone watch strap

This provides an accessible platform for ESP8266 learning, portable development, and wireless technology education.
