  • I’ll echo what @otter@lemmy.ca said, Garmin is really the only way to go. Currently. You can basically run them completely disconnected from Garmin after you get them setup.

    I’ll also echo what @ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org said but qualify it by saying the PineTime is…a piece of junk. I wanted SO much to like it, but nothing about it works the way that is intended. It will not monitor your heart rate accurately. At least not for longer than 30 seconds. It will also not keep accurate count of your steps. It just doesn’t have sensitive/effective enough hardware for it. The firmware and OS are barely maintained. It’s sad, but true. I’ll be the first person in line to drop $500 on an Apple Watch or Samsung Watch equal FOSS watch. The market just doesn’t seem to be there.
