I’m moving from iPhone to a pixel/graphene. I currently have an Apple Watch and got into the habit of leaving my phone on my desk (WfH) and relying on the watch to let me know if I get a notification. I don’t really want/care about fitness tracking or even responding to messages and calls. Is there a watch/bracelet that will just alert me to a notification?

    Maybe something like PineTime?

    It’s likely a very different experience than an apple watch, as in, much more basic in functionality. It’s also like $30.

        im daily driving the pinetime on a postmarketos phone. it is glorious. but you kinda need to want to stick it to the man for maximum pleasure because thats whst youre doing. thats how it feels to me anyway.

      I came across bangle.js 2 when searching for PineTime info. Same idea, but more expensive (~twice the price for me in Canada), a little better hardware, and supposedly a larger developer/userbase.

      I don’t know too much about it; curious if folks here have opinions.

        I found this too. Seems pretty good. I may have to give it a try if the pinetime doesn’t work out
