While we're on the topic; any decent smart watches out there that
? 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 interested in tinkering or just want a basic smartwatch, Pebble is back
Iβd heard it was coming back (sic) but Iβd not heard that it will have a 30 day battery life, wow
I use CMF Watch Pro, with Gadgetbridge.
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
Second BangleJS 2. I went from Pebbles to the BangleJS 2 and have been really happy with it. I don't recall it being difficult to set to; it came ready to go, and synced with GadgetBridge (the Bangle.js fork) right away.
Is any of them capable of a "smart alarm" aka waking you at the right phase of sleep?
From a quick search, "sleep as android" seems to have support for both, although people have varying success with it
Love my pinetime. cheap tough and does not have bullshit.
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.
Second this, my wife and I both got one. It's a slight inconvenience to get the Authorization key from a command line, but it's not very difficult. Gadget Bridge basically fakes the phone side of the app, which means it won't send your data out and watch thinks everything is fine and normal. Pretty cool. Look at all these free watch faces: https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/
Maybe Garmin, Withings or (Chinese owned now) Suunto?
Seiko lol
