I'm closer and closer to getting rid of all proprietary software/hardware. Waiting patiently for my Sony and Fitbit to die out so I can replace them with literally anything but Android, preferably something that works with GadgetBridge.
What replacements are you looking at for the Fitbit?
No specific brands in mind but I'm also open for suggestions
Preferably something with an SDK to be able to add custom functionality
Dang I was hoping there was something you could tell me.
Pinetime (or timeline, can't remember which) might suit you, but I don't think it's ready for me. I don't want another tinker device, I want something that just works, but I also don't want a corporate spy device. I think I'm outta luck until pinetime is complete.
the amazfit bip is nice, if they're still selling them. I've had mine for 4 years now. Transflective screen so the battery lasts a week+, and it works with gadgetbridge so zero cloud phoning-home. Not as many features as a full watchos or wearos watch, but it gives me notifications, and monitors heart rate with zero spying.
Gadgetbridge is pretty awesome in general btw, it's a fully open-source, fully offline app for managing and communicating with bluetooth things like smart watches and headphones. It's on F-Droid.
😂I’m waiting for my iPhone X to die as well
