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?
I’m in the same boat. The buttons on my Pebble Time Steel are going, and I don’t know what I’m going to replace it with.
the Pinetime watch, but it died after 6 months.
Oof, that’s a shame. That was on my list of possibilities.
anything that’s compatible with Gadgetbridge should be okay. it keeps everything on your phone and doesn’t even request a network permission, so the device can’t phone home.
incidentally, I’ve got the Mi Band 7 (connected via Gadgetbridge] and I quite like it.
If you can find a Pebble, they still work perfectly and the manufacturer doesn’t even exist anymore!
Been pretty happy with my Garmin Instinct. It has a cloud connection of course but seems pretty decent privacy wise.
