Open source smart watches
-
If you were to buy an open source smart watch today to pair to a GrapheneOS smart phone which would you choose?
use gadget bridge for which ever you get.

pinetime is a neat affordable project to check out... but i think they're sold out atm. i saw someone say that in the last week in the chatroom
Pine was my first stop but when I went to purchase I got a 404/so I assumed it was not available which is why I'm here

Isn't the pebble watch getting a re-release? Might be neat to tinker with. There's also a conversion kit thing for one of the classic digital casio watches. Both are tinkering friendly and open source.

These projects are fun to hear abt because I always go "damn I wish I heard about that six years ago" only to find out it is emerging from 8 years of developmental purgatory. So in a way I got to skip the wait

I just put one in my cart and made it all the way to payment option.. maybe try again?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm happy enough with my current (non-oss) watch that I'm not going to change until it becomes unusable, but if I had to make the decision today, I'd probably have a go at installing Asteroid OS on a secondhand device.

In the EU store it is currently out of stock and also priced at 66€. Can it be, that this is a victim of the US-EU trade war, that Trump started?

I'm currently also at that point, trying to decide what to buy.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a smart watch with good compatibility with gadgetbridge? I'm not sure where to look (gadgetbridges list is long).
Something with a color display, maybe a week of battery life, being able to show my notifications and configuration without needing the manufacturers app

Thats probably the right direction to go, they support some styles that I can get behind like the LG watch 7 its in the same genre of my OG Apple watch Ultra

My pebble 2 Duo arrived yesterday... It doesn't yet pair with Gadgetbridge but I imagine it will at some point.
I've also ordered the Pebble Time 2, which I think will be a better watch for me: going back to a b/w display without touchscreen is hard. The Time2 has both colour and touchscreen....

Currently using amazfit trex2 with gadget bridge.
All the things I actually use work. My only peeve is that you can't silence /stop phone alarms from the watch, but I believe this is a general android thing...

I was wondering this myself. Thank you for that useful information.

Commenting because no-one mentioned the Watchy

I just pulled my Bangle.js 2 back out to play with making a better reminder system for myself. It works better than any of the other open source watches I've had with my GrapheneOS phone. The hardware isn't open source as far as I know, but their mobile app (fork of gadget bridge) is, as are all the apps that run on the watch, and (I think?) the watch OS.

Watchy, while a cool product, is an eink watch with no smart features.

Got PineTime pre-tariffs (even though it took a while to ship to US)
Pretty neat piece of hardware, has everything that I want (notifications, time, weather, timer), InfiniTime OS is open source and was easy to read, build and flash (had to do so to add missing Cyrillic letters and a shortcut)
As long as your expectations are that of a microcontroller-powered device and not a supercomputer-on-your-wrist, it's fantastic.
