I'm looking for any suggestions for smartwatch that it similar like Google Pixel Phones with GrapheneOS. Is there such a thing?

I use the AmazFit Band 7, the last sensibly sized watch that exists it often feels like.

Weather fails to sync, but then it's probably the least important feature on a watch. The only feature I really wish Gadgetbridge could do that even the official stack can't is "nap mode"

As a narcoleptic person still recovering from major depression, I wish I could either press a button to silence the watch and set a "smart alarm" for 30 minutes. Even better if it would turn on automatically if it detects me sleeping during the day!

The only other thing GB can't do is stand in for the phone-side ZeppOS API functionality, but who needs that, let's be honest!

Fantastic battery life to boot. I have gone two weeks after forgetting to charge it while wearing it almost 24×7!

Weather works on my Zepp OS watch. Breezy Weather syncs it to gadgetbrige

I'll try it out immediately (he said, after claiming weather is unimportant 😅)!

Do you also happen to know any way to get navigation instructions to show up on the watch? ...Asking for a friend, ofc!

In the Gadgetbridge settings it says it only works with OsmAnd and Google Maps, neither of which I use. But it should work with those two

Also can't push navigation to the watch, but tracking a route for a walk whole you have the phone with you works just fine. (Neither feature I need)
