Was thinking about making a series of watchfaces themed after different Lemmy instances:

That's... actually cute. My hatred of smartwatches aside.

Pebble is the only good smartwatch

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Really? Is it less invasive that other smartwatches?

I mean I know its silly to worry about smartwatches being privacy nightmares when I have a phone with me 24/7. But still I don't like 'em

Fyi smart watches don't have to be invasive, install gadgetbridge and the watch won't ever be able to connect to the internet and gadgetbridge can intercept all data coming from it

Thank you for the info!

Yeah, Pebble is way less focused on all the biometric shit than the big ones, and much more open. The source code is Apache licensed and up on github.

If you can get one. I ordered mine in November (batch 3), they're supposedly all out of the factory by July 31, still no shipping slip or whatnot. Much less an actual watch.

Mine is an old pre-bankruptcy time

Do you feel the same about fitness trackers?
