I'd be down for something that was more designed around all the fun bio data smart watches can collect. I'd even be down for a slightly invasive implant that would collect data about my health so I can better keep track of it all. Apple seems the most interested in the health stuff from what I've seen and I have no interest in the apple ecosystem. Open source health stuff seems like an opportunity to latch on to before the corpos make the stuff and sell the data.

I miss the Pebble :(

I love my PineTime. I don't care about health stats (I'm well aware of how much time I spend sitting at my computer), but I wanted a watch that did the following things:

1. tell me the time
2. show text message notifications
3. control my music

This watch does all that and... basically nothing else. It has a step-counter but I don't trust it. It has a heart rate monitor but it can never detect my heart rate (I probably wear my watch too loosely). So for my needs, it does everything I want and nothing I don't want. It definitely isn't the right watch for someone who cares about tracking health info, but for reducing the number of times I pull out my phone for stupid reasons, this is perfect. It can even reject phone calls so I don't have to pull my phone out of my pocket when I get yet another spam call.

I love the concept. I'm all for open tech. Eventually I'd love to have an open-source AI smart home system. But I am absolutely not installing an Alexa or Google home in my house for the obvious reasons

This makes me sad because it's not available in my country "for logistical reasons", and it seems to be just what I wanted

It's € 62,65 over here, fuck that.

I've also got a pinetime watch, never been a fan of the data collection smartwatch companies do, its great to have something that I know exactly how it works with its open source firmware. It's not exactly perfect but there's been tons of updates from contributions by the community, I've even been able to make some modifications of my own too.

If anyone here in the comments has any questions about it I'd be happy to answer them

It would be cool if it had sensors like oximeter and GPS. But for $27, it's not bad. How's the battery and step counting on it?

and I can know for a fact that it won't phone home with my location or other data to any corporation behind the scenes.

if you've already got a wearable, check if Gadgetbridge supports it. it can replace your gadget's companion app so that it doesn't connect to the cloud. that's what I use with the Mi Band 7 that I got as a gift.

This might make me buy a smartwatch damnit

Wow! That's a bargain price for any smart watch, let alone one that's all FOSS and made by a small company.

Unfortunately shipping to Canada would cost more than the device itself.

This looks legit. Any info on how well it connects to an iPhone or Android?

It's so expensive in Europe :'((

Are you using any fitness or sleep tracking apps with it? I like the design and open nature but there are hardly any quality apps I've found that integrate well with it.

Look very good, sadly the shipping is very costy for where I live but I will buy it sometime

Edit : do you know any other open-source smartwatch with more fitness tracker?

Wait wasn't that thing supposed to have a RISC-V processor?

Can I get notifications from my iPhone on this watch such as iMessage, slack, and now playing (Spotify)?

how strong is the metronome? the metronome wearable from soundbrenner is bit to big and masc. my wife is searching for a smaller wearable and I have read the pinetime has a metronome function <3.

Wow, that's a very good price for smartwatch! I might buy this to try it.
