Sounds great! I‘m using a legacy apple device (sigh) so I‘m not sure my phone will do a lot with it. Do you know what it can do on its own? Tell the time probably. It says you can use it with a pc as well. Turning on lights at home would be great. I could also see reverse engineering the key fob of my old bmw and using it as a key replacement. ;)

There is a lot of stuff people mess with, but with all linux people only some of it is useful or works. Can you side load on old apple stuff?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its not jailbroken so no, I cant sideload yet. But the EU is currently trying to force apple to allow sideloading. Should be any minute now! :)

I know about linux stuff. Running a daily driver for half a year now and a couple servers for a couple years. The apple thing is just one I bought before all that so I will use it until it breaks. I develop some low effort apps for my linux desktop so the watch should be cool for me.

The dev kit thing scares me a bit though. Says the assembled watch is not for development?

Oh yeah don't get the dev kit, its just the watch bits really. The normal watch is sealed and whatnot, that is the one to get.
