Sony Smartwatch 3 Handlebar Mount

thingiverse

My usual over-engineered rigidity has given way to some more relaxed engineered robustness, and I'm aware this will offend so many people, but it works for me and I thought I'd share. You'll need a handlebar tripod mount that will hold the Go-Pro mount, or a small camera - it's the standard small 1/4 inch type. You can pick them up on Amazon for $3.49, or a more branded or heavy-duty version for $9.99. There's no button to press, so this might annoy you; however, I run my watch "always on," so I never use the button, and if I need to do so on the bike, the pin does stick out enough to get a screwdriver to it. 2015-07-04 EDIT - Version 2 added I'm leaving the original files in here because I think it's still a nice design; however, I've taken a lot of feedback from some cycling buddies and redesigned accordingly: Only one bolt now is needed; four was too finicky, which meant you needed to set up off-bike; now, you can leave the base attached and add the watch in just a few seconds. The bolt threaded end was little too long, and it didn't tightly grip the frame without reaching the end of the channel; so I've taken off a couple of layers. The bolt head was a bit too short, and you'd struggle with gloves or in the cold; added 2.5mm. The base can be mounted either "bolt up" or "bolt down" depending on your preference. Still no access to the charging hole, it's much easier to remove the watch if needed, and walk away from the bike for any reason. Still no button presser for simplicity; running in "Always On" mode seems fine. Which base you need depends on you. If you have a spare standard quarter inch Whitworth or UNC nut lying around, then print out the bolt-on base for the nut and glue it in place so that you don't have to worry about shearing the plastic too much. Should you not have any antique tool designed to hold steam engines together, then print out the standard screw-on base; it should be strong enough to handle most impacts from biking and failing at impact to save your watch from breaking.
