Gadgetbridge users, can you tell about your smart watch and what are it’s pros/cons.
Love my PineTime.
Pros: Cheap, open source, reliable, several days of battery life per charge
Cons: Limited feature set when compared to more expensive smart watches, unused hardware features (for now), painfully slow development cycle
Wait, that thing costs only $26.99??
Yep. Add in shipping to the US, and it’s still less than $40.
Yea, I use mine every day. You’re right, the feature set is quite limited, but it’s more than enough for what I use it for.
Bangle.js 2, the pros are being highly customisable and relatively high battery life with an always on display. Cons are how glitchy said customisability can get the more you try to do with it due to how small the storage and ram is.
Skagen Jorn gen 6 hybrid

- Looks like stylish regular watch with real hands
- Always-on e-ink screen

Not a smart watch, but a Mi Band fitness tracker.
Pros:
- works well enough
- Private
- data visualizations are great
- Advanced sleep tracking
- Lots of customization features
Cons:
- needs 3rd party app to sync weather
- Doesn’t exit cleanly
- Calendar sync has never worked for me (even though I gave it necessary permissions )
