Pebble is the only good smartwatch
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
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.
