Programming a watch display?
I'm not asking for step by step instructions of code or anything. Instead I'm asking for where can I get the materials (circuit boards, LEDs, and other parts) to make a simple watch. No I'm not trying to make a smart watch. It's for a school project. I need to program the clock function and add a timer or stopwatch function. I also have to program the display using a LED display which I have to wire. I know that it's difficult but I have about six months to complete it. Like I said I only need to know where I can get instructions and a circuit board. If someone could point me into the right direction for buying LEDs that'd be nice too! Thanks!

A google reveals eBay as a good source for the old-time LED digit boards. Inasfaras programming hardware... lots of things get done with the Raspberry or the Arduino microcontroller.
The old-time LED is surplus. The new display LED is more like your computer monitor. Whether you want to delve into low-level instruction code set or higher-level programming that resolves into machine code is the reason I point you to two different approaches. If I were you, I'd seek out USB connectivity to a computer that links your hardware.
