As the global demand for customized smart wearables continues to rise, more brands, system integrators, and IoT solution providers are choosing ESP32-based smartwatch PCB designs as their core hardware platform.
Thanks to its powerful MCU performance, integrated WiFi + Bluetooth, and
ultra-low-power architecture, ESP32 has become one of the most popular chips
for custom
smartwatch OEM and ODM projects.

This guide introduces how to design, optimize, and mass-produce an ESP32 Smartwatch Custom PCB, and why working with a professional OEM manufacturer like Shenzhen Geyan Technology Co., Ltd. significantly reduces development risks and time-to-market.
ESP32 is widely adopted in next-generation smartwatches, smart bands, and smart rings because it provides:
· Dual-core MCU with strong processing capability
· Integrated WiFi + BLE for cloud and mobile APP connection
· Ultra-low-power sleep modes for extended battery life
· Rich peripheral interfaces for sensor integration
· Excellent cost-performance ratio for mass production
These features make ESP32 ideal for:
· Health monitoring smartwatches
· Smart fitness bands
· Bluetooth calling watches
· IoT cloud-connected wearables
· Custom smart rings and medical devices
