What would be the best spyware free smart watch?

Thunder@lemm.ee to Open Source@lemmy.ml – 124 points –

So I want te find the most feature rich smartwatch that doesn't send data to the manufacure. I have tried the Pinetime watch, but it died after 6 months.

Infinitytime (OS) was not realy that feature rish, so I want to secrufise an Open Source watch OS. But I still want to connect it with Open Source software, like gadged bridge.

What is my best option under €200? Maybe the Xioami Mi band 7 (€50) that is supported by gadgedbrigde?

Personally this has been the most feature rich/open source one I could find, and it's what I ended up going for, there's an opensource app store, direct integration with gadgetbridge, a decent always on display much like the amazfit bip S, which also means a long battery life.

That’s the closest thing I’ve found to my dear departed Pebble

This is pretty amazing, I was not expecting it to be such a reasonable price considering the specs. What's the battery life like?

It can get up to 4 weeks, though my experience is closer to 4 days to a couple of weeks, I think it depends heavily on what apps you're using, how much you're moving about and how much stuff you're installing

On the website, it says the battery life's 4 weeks.

Yep saw that but it said standby time which is not equivalent to normal usage battery life.
