    Nice, as someone who has done some product research for specialized smartwatches, these specs are pretty much the go-to standard for generic chinese mid-range smartwatches.

    Definitely a great base for an open source smart watch. You can do a lot with that!

    Two things In need in a smartwatch: long battery life (at least 5 days), and copious music storage space. I mean, I also need a clock, sleep and heartrate sensors, step monitoring, etc, but they’re stuff most normal smartwatches have already.

    I’m currently using a Hauwei GT2 which I don’t connect to the internet except when unavoidable, such as when transferring music from my phone to the watch, but I would gladly prefer an open source solution.

      If the watch battery doesn’t last at least 12 months, count me out. I have too many things to worry about charging. The only reason I have a watch is because its a thing that tells time and sets alarms that I never have to worry about dying (OK, maybe a few times per decade)

        If all you want from a watch is time and alarms, you’re obviously not even remotely in the demographic that any smartwatch is targeting.

    ‘Dimensions: 43 mm diameter, 16 mm thick’

    Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there’s no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?
