If you were to go out today and buy an open source smart watch to pair with a GrapheneOS phone which would you choose?

    If you care about actual functionality (accurate HR, fitness tracking, GPS tracking for runs) but still don’t want to be spied on, using GadgetBridge with a commercially available watch (Huawei/Garmin/Amazfit) is probably your best option. GadgetBridge being the controller/gatekeeper app to the watch means all your data stays on your device and isn’t going to the watch manufacturer, but you still get the benefit of the actual functionality working well (which, unfortunately with Pebble or PineTime isn’t the case right now - pebble being very old iirc and pine time just… Not being good.)

    I’ve ordered one of the new Pebbles, but in the meantime, I have a PineTime: https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime

    I’ve even given some to nephews and nieces because they are durable enough and so affordable that we don’t need to worry too much about them

      They have a warranty of 30 days for manufacturing errors… Wouldn’t be legal if they would sell in the EU. Apart from that sounds interesting.

        Pebble: 30 days of battery life

        Also Pebble: 30 days manufacturer warranty

        So the warranty expires when the battery does. Lol.

        Edit: still loving my Time Round even though it hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade.
