For a second there I thought you actually accessed the bios on the watch and it looked like that haha.

Awesome!

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 70 points 2 months ago

If you did, it would probably be in mandarin. At least that’s what happened when my Android tablet went to shit.

ARM devices kinda dont have a bios, so sadly this wouldnt be possible :(

[-] marighost@piefed.social 45 points 2 months ago

It's more of a WRIST device I'd say

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

Heh, nice one 👏

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 months ago

Could be the recovery menu.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 months ago

It does say "BIOS Setup Utility" at the top tho...

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 months ago

I know, I meant it as if they were to access something.

And you could have BIOS-themed custom recovery.
I am sure it could be done. Just compare the usual volume button-navigated stock recovery with something like TWRP which could really be considered a small OS.

God I wish ARM had a standard...

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 159 points 2 months ago

“Hey, what watch is that?”

Me: “American Megatrends.”

“…”

Me: “it’s EnergyStar compliant.”

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 18 points 2 months ago

Then here is the right model for you...

[-] voodooattack@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Oof. Right in the nostalgia.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 98 points 2 months ago

Unironically I like that

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 61 points 2 months ago
[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 months ago

It gives information in a high contrast interface. It cares not for your opinions

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

i don't care it does not care

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

? 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

[-] 18107@aussie.zone 25 points 2 months ago

If you're interested in tinkering or just want a basic smartwatch, Pebble is back

[-] UntitledQuitting@reddthat.com 12 points 2 months ago

I’d heard it was coming back (sic) but I’d not heard that it will have a 30 day battery life, wow

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 12 points 2 months ago

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

I use CMF Watch Pro, with Gadgetbridge.

[-] joat_mon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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.

Looks neat, but I think the actual time display is way too small to be useful.

[-] sem 25 points 2 months ago

Thanks I hate it

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Looks like the same watch I have. Where do I get this?

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 19 points 2 months ago

Those are some nice looking arms

[-] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Did you stop to consider that they might be an amputee on the other side, and that your pluralization of the word "arm" is causing immense emotional pain and turmoil right now and that the watch face is digital and has no arms. No. You only think about yourself. /S?

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Thanks. I guess...??

What watch is it by the way? I haven't moved into the realm of wearables yet. Maybe next year will be my year to start

🔥🔥🔥

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Wow. Didn't think I'd get nostalgia flashbacks from a watch face but here we are.

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 15 points 2 months ago

This feels like a recipe for screen burn, but I assume whatever elements the watch uses for pixels don't do that, and it's just the bad side of nostalgia making me feel that way.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

If you never change what's on the screen, you'll never notice the burn-in

My coworker likes it and wants to know where this can be found.

[-] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

I LOVE it!!

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago

I thought this was templeos

Almost makes me want a smart watch

[-] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Advanced

What would the advanced options do?

Oh wait, settings. Then Boot would launch apps.

Probably.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I really wish the Apple Watch were this customizable. This is so cool.

this is awesome

[-] scott@lemmy.org 5 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of the PineTime's Terminal face

[-] neopenguin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Love that you put a Freestyle strap on a smart watch.
