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

PineTime (with Infinitime firmware)

Bangle JS

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.

From a quick search, "sleep as android" seems to have support for both, although people have varying success with it

Thank you! I didn’t know that this android app can now connect to wearables.
