All I want is a smartwatch which will let me own all my personal health data, I don’t want to get locked in to some monthly subscription just to access my own health metrics
The FOSS app GadgetBridge, has a number of supported smartwatches.
Supported watches can sync your health, activity, GPS, heart, O2, sleep data to GadgetBridge locally on your phone, instead of sending it online to who knows where.
May need to use the watches app to set it up, but then all happens locally.
Get something which works with GadgetBridge. You’ll be in complete control.
Pretty wild that the author didn’t set up app notifications. Getting specific notifications from specific people on my wrist is a big part of the reason I use a smartwatch. But to each their own.
It’d be pretty cool to get a significant use case of my pricey pricey Garmin for ~CAD$40.
I’m the author. I’ve now set up notifications on the advice of just about everyone. It’s pretty cool!
Nice!
I enjoyed reading your blog. It’s been a while since I looked at an honest to goodness enthusiast blog. Thanks for writing it!
You like breakfast? Anywhere near Massachusetts?
I’ve been working on a super simple blog about breakfast in all 351 cities/towns. I’m at 133.
Can throw a link if you wanna look.
I’m nowhere near Massachusetts but I am a huge fan of breakfast food so I applaud your efforts.
Mmmm… eggs bene 😁
Shakshuka is my novel breakfast these days
Okie dokie
I had flashbacks to Parks and Rec breakfast scenes and I believe Leslie Knope would support your cause.
Ha, yep, she would.
dude this thing has a flashlight? you son of a bitch, I’m in
No, he said torch. I assume butane.
Should I Buy One?
That’s up to you, champ. I’m not your real dad and I’m not trying to take his place. But I’m here for you if you need me.
Love it. 🤣🤣🤣
On a side note I wish hybrid smartwatches were still a thing. Most of the product lines are discontinued, but I liked the idea of it.
Loved the article.
One pet peeve of mine: PD plugs are too powerful to charge puny devices. Not the first time I’ve run into this problem.
So sad that we’ve finally gotten a good standard (USB c) but there are still things that look like they should fit together and work, but don’t.
Heh, of course it has a knock-off UI too.
Please check in with an update after 6 months.
I had no idea USB C charging was such a rarity for smart watches
For what it’s worth there are smartwatches with good battery life too, my Garmin Venu 2 lasts at least a week with sleep tracking, workout tracking, and some GPS use through the week.
Is it esp32 based?
Wicked!
