2. Hardware Customization: Beyond the Surface – PCB, Sensors & Core Components


True customization starts beneath the screen. At Geyan Technology, our in-house R&D team and state-of-the-art SMT production lines enable deep hardware personalization that goes far beyond aesthetics.

PCB Customization: The Foundation of Performance

Your smartwatch’s printed circuit board (PCB) dictates its capabilities, efficiency, and longevity. With our custom PCB design services, you can:

  • Optimize Power Architecture: Extend battery life through intelligent power management tailored to your feature set
  • Integrate Specialized Sensors: Choose from clinical-grade ECG modules, PPG-based blood pressure estimators, or multi-constellation GNSS (GPS + GLONASS + Galileo)
  • Balance Cost & Functionality: Select chipsets (Nordic, Realtek, Rockchip, etc.) based on performance needs and BOM targets

💡 Did you know? A well-designed PCB can reduce standby current by up to 30%, dramatically improving user experience.

Additional Hardware Customization Options

  • Battery Capacity: From compact 300mAh units for slim bands to 500mAh+ batteries for GPS-heavy sports watches
  • Display Technology: Choose AMOLED for vivid colors and deep blacks, or LCD for cost-sensitive segments—available in round, square, or rectangular form factors
  • Connectivity Modules: Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, NFC (for payments), or even LTE (on select platforms)
  • Regional Compliance: We engineer market-specific PCBs for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA, EU, ensuring built-in compliance with FCC, CE, RoHS, and REACH standards
