While we're on the topic; any decent smart watches out there that

  • aren't made by apple
  • don't harvest my data
  • don't stream everything I do straight to china

? I like the concept of a smart watch, but I haven't really looked into the ecosystem. Preferably one that just integrates nicely with any android phone

If you're comfortable with a bit of setup, there are open hardware options on the market. They're reasonably basic compared to a flagship but phone notifications, some health metrics and telling the time are all quite possible.

PineTime (with Infinitime firmware)

Bangle JS

If you want to basically make it from scratch there's also the Yatchy

If you're interested in tinkering or just want a basic smartwatch, Pebble is back

Amazfit with Gadgetbridge.

I bought one a couple of years ago and it works great. Gadgetbridge keeps all the smart functionality local to your phone.

I've heard good things about the Garmins as well which I think are mostly also supported in Gadgetbridge.

Also having a GTR4 with GB, same idea. Still hate having to send them data by having to use their app on an initial pairing to get the damn key for the first time. Also, now that I changed phone, and using the pairing key on the new phone worked to get it to connect to my GTR4, it seems a bit less persistent connection than when it was paired from their app on the same device. Not sure what else changed, because it's in both cases pixel phones, running GrapheneOS.

Maybe Garmin, Withings or (Chinese owned now) Suunto?
