So I want te find the most feature rich smartwatch that doesn’t send data to the manufacure. I have tried the Pinetime watch, but it died after 6 months.

Infinitytime (OS) was not realy that feature rish, so I want to secrufise an Open Source watch OS. But I still want to connect it with Open Source software, like gadged bridge.

What is my best option under €200? Maybe the Xioami Mi band 7 (€50) that is supported by gadgedbrigde?

    If you can find a Pebble, they still work perfectly and the manufacturer doesn’t even exist anymore!

      Hmm, fitbit bought most of the company, then Google bought them.

      Shit! You just reminded me I have a Pebble Time, sitting in a drawer. I remember it being such a good watch, then I got distracted by the Samsung watch at the time.

      Might see if there’s any life in it and test it out with GadgetBridge.

          Thanks for that. Came across Rebble while searching for answers to problems getting the Pebble working with GB earlier today, so definitely looks like it’s worth a go.

              Just following up - Rebble is fantastic! Have revived the Pebble Time - will see how the battery goes over the next week or so. Thanks again for the tip!

                Hey, you go it!

                FYI, you can financially support Rebble and get perks like being able to reply with voice to messages. I don’t personally do so but I know people who have had success with it.

                For comparison, my Pebble with everything turned off (like health tracking, apps, steps, alarms etc) and only BT on for notifications, I get about a week still

                    I take you are a satisfied user. Ages ago when I looked into it, I didn’t see the need. To save time for me and other people on this thread, what value does it bring to you? I would consider subscribing just to financially support them but what other tangible use does a subscription bring?
