Morse Codes

A wrist-based tool for learning Morse: pick a ready-made phrase and the watch taps it out, so you can learn the timing, recognise common patterns and explore classic signals. Three output modes — a full-screen flash, audible tones, or an on-screen row of dots and dashes — once or looped, at the speed you choose.

Three ways to read a signal

Flash

The whole screen blinks the rhythm with the backlight — and the LED torch where the watch has one — so you can read dot, dash and the gaps by eye.

Tone

On watches with a buzzer or speaker, a short beep for a dot and a long one for a dash — the classic way to hear Morse timing.

Show dots

A row of · and − on screen with the current symbol highlighted — a crib sheet to follow along or tap out yourself.

Ready-made phrases

Pick a phrase and the watch plays it back; SOS is pinned on top as the best-known example to learn from.
