This design came about because while I think that while C Average's Sun Dial Watch is incredibly cool, it is also beyond my skill-level to manufacture. Also, it is designed for a different latitude than that at which I live. So I made this watch instead, which achieves the same purpose with fewer parts. Instead of a gnomon that springs into place, my gnomon clicks into a slot and can be stowed inside the watch when not in use. This sundial is calibrated to 39⁰ latitude and includes a level and compass in the design so that you can be sure that it is correctly oriented before reading the time. Shopping List The compass insert I used is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052CEFMU The bubble level I used is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9RFT97/ The watchband I used is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01APUQHR4/ Assembly Tip On my printer, the compass and bubble levels were press fits, but I found that if I bumped my wrist they sometimes fell out, so I used a drop of super-glue to hold them in place.
