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!
Nice but it feels like a rather thick stack for a watch.
Ok everybody go buy, so I can request a rectangular face lol.
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’
How much is 16mm compared to other similar watches ?
PineTime 11mm
Samsung Galaxy Watch6 9mm
Apple Watch Series 9 10.7mm
Google Pixel Watch 2 12.3mm
Rolex Submariner (non-smart) 13mm
How does it compare to the banglejs 2 from espruino?
Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there’s no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?
Seems cool. Thiccc though.
Any ideas on price?
