  1. 1/6 Pebble vs Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic: some early thoughts.

    First thing that hits you: the weight. Samsung is 63.5g, Pebble is 33g. That difference is incredibly noticeable. After wearing the Samsung for years, the Pebble feels like nothing on the wrist. Genuinely surprising how much of a difference 30g makes.

  2. #AsteroidOS2.0 Launches: A Community-Driven #OpenSource #Linux Revival for #Smartwatches
    #AsteroidOS continues to support a range of legacy #AndroidWear devices, including models from brands like LG, Huawei, Asus, and others. While compatibility depends on hardware drivers and device limitations, the project maintains an updated support list and installation guides.

  3. In anticipation of my Pixel Watch 3 arriving soon, I've spent the past week porting my Freestyle Libre CGM app from the Fitbit Watch SDK to Android Wear OS.

    This new version of the app scrapes the latest glucose reading from Freestyle's LibreLinkUp server every 15 minutes and stores it in Google HealthConnect to make the data available to other apps on Android, such as Google Fit and Fitbit.

    The app also provides a complication and a tile for Android Wear OS 3.x+ to display the current reading and trend arrow.

    I'm waiting to publish a release until I've tested on a real watch, but in the meantime the work-in-progress source is available on GitHub: github.com/c99koder/HealthConn

  4. I have simple text data I want to display on my , available on an API endpoint.

    Is there any app to display that text on a Tile or Complication?

    (The best solution will also support a template engine to use the API data with customizations)

  5. Since I bought an Android phone, I bought myself an Android watch. A TicWatch Enduro.

    I got it on Saturday lunchtime, and it's now Tuesday morning with 16% battery life (with the ability to go all the way down to 5%).

    As someone who used an Apple Watch for about 2/3 years, I'm absolutely blown away at this thing!

  10. My #PineTime smart watch suddenly stopped working last year (not expensive, but not high quality either). Now I can't decide between buying

    1️⃣ an open-source #BangleJS that has more features, supports apps and is easily programmable, but also costs much more and could turn out to be low-quality too,

    2️⃣ a high-quality #AndroidWear watch that has all features imaginable but isn't supported by #MicroG. Flashing #AsteroidOS could break some functionality & the “ease-of-use”.

    What should I buy?

  11. #Meta continua la sua stretta partnership con #Google. Mentre si prepara a rilasciare #WhatsApp per #AndroidWear, decide anche di eliminare l’app #Messenger per #AppleWatch

    L’app sarà tolta il primo giugno.

  13. Here is a great use of a Heart Rate monitor on a #smartwatch: It can be a real time mood tracker that tells me to calm the hell down during a conflict in a work meeting. 🧊😡⌚➡️🥲

    You can tell exactly when that happened, right?

  20. My #Ticwatch E arrived today! I've missed my watch the last few weeks since the battery in my G Watch R packed it in.

    So, after one whole day, I'm happy. It feels nice, it's lighter than the G Watch R, it does all the things the old one used to, and it's a lot snappier and more responsive. The old one was never really great since #AndroidWear 2.0 dropped into its life.

    My old one lasted three full years of daily use.

  21. My old G Watch R has finally given up (over three years of daily use, not shabby). The battery just isn't holding charge at all any more. For all its flaws, I get a lot of use out of #AndroidWear currently and I'm not feeling like giving it up yet.

    I could have ordered a new battery, and still might, but for now I've ordered a #Ticwatch E to try out.

    Now the waiting game begins.
