What is TimeSmith?
"TimeSmith" is a magic app developed by Benke Smith for Android and iOS. The app is intended to control Bluetooth hybrid watches, mainly by setting the hour and minute hands to show a custom time. The time can be freely selected by the spectator, but it also can be a pre-configured (force) timestamp. The app can also recognize button presses, vibrate the watch and read the status of the battery (depending on the watch model). The number of magic routines and customizable options will grow in time, with the help of the dedicated Facebook community.
By purchasing the TimeSmith Watch you receive a full copy of the App which will control the watch.
Although the App will control some Hybrid Smart Watches as well, we prefer the plain simple single button look of the Timesmith Watch which has very little chance if any of it being recognized as a smart watch by your spectators.
Timesmith Watch Build materials and quality
The body of the watch is made of alloy (stainless steel). The watch face is covered by a tempered mineral glass. The glass is quite scratch resistant and durable (we even hit it gently with a hammer a few times and dropped the watch on the floor, and no harm was made). The strap is made of genuine leather, which is black on the outside and light brown on the side. The watch is claimed to have 3ATM water resistance, which we haven't tested yet. The crown of the watch is actually a button, you can't pull it out or turn it.
You will note from the videos that there are different faces available on this watch. We stock what we consider to be the best 2, the black and white with standard numbers. The reason for this is we know these are the easiest for your audience to read, there is no guessing where the hands are or being confused by Roman numerals. If you would like one of the others we can order them for you but we advise you consider our reasons for not stocking them, we have a lot of experience in performing this type of effect.
Wrist Watch Dimensions & Weight
The watch face has 36mm inner and 42mm outer diameter, the main thickness is 11mm. You can easily exchange the original strap with any 20mm standard strap. The default black leather strap is suitable for about 15-20 cm wrist sizes. The TimeSmith Watch weights around 50 grams (with the strap).
Remote Control
The TimeSmith Watch can not only be controlled by the app it also has voice recognition and the ability to be controlled by the Tell The Truth and Versa remote controls.
