Sony Smartwatch 3 Handlebar Mount

My usual over engineered bolted togetherness has given way to some more milder engineered bolted togetherness, and I am sure this will offend so many people, but it works for me and I thought I'd share.

You will 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 £2.99, or a more branded or heavy duty version for £7.99.

There is no button to press, so this may aggravate you, however I run my watch "always on" so never use the button, and if I have to on the bike, the pin does stick out enough to get a nail to it.

I am leaving the original files in here because I think it's still a nice design, but I have taken a lot of feedback from some cycling buddies and redesigned accordingly:

  • Only one bolt now. 4 was way too finicky and meant you needed to set up off bike, now you can leave the base attached and add the watch in only a few seconds.
  • The bolt threaded end was little too long and got to the end of the channel without tightly gripping the frame so I've taken off a couple of layers.
  • The bolt head was a little too short and you'd struggle in the cold or in gloves. Added 2.5mm.
  • The base can be mounted "bolt up" or "bolt down" depending on your preference.
  • Still no access to the charging hole, it's much easier to take the watch out, and if you need to walk away from the bike for any reason.
  • Still no button presser for simplicity, "Always on" seems to be fine.
