Comment on 🚀 Statistics for Strava v4.7.0 released! Dark mode & Milestones timeline
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 days agoYou may want to look at the supported devices on this project. It’s an app to get data to/from wearables.
Two of the supported devices are bangle.js and bangle.js 2. These are open source smart watches with GNSS and HR, which have different apps available already that I believe can record data without your phone connected, and then sync later, either to your phone or computer (not sure on that one). And you can develop your own apps too of course.
I don’t really know much more than that. I do want to get back into exercising regularly, and would like to track my progress, so I may get one myself at some point.

I’ve already looked into gadgetbridge, but all supported devices unfortunately have fairly limited functionality. I get that it’s the premise with the reverse engineering they do to make things almost work.
The bangle.js models are a fucking ugly apple watch clone, I’d never wear that thing. And I’m not looking to get an actual smartwatch, I have no need for any of that clutter or a desire to charge my watch daily or every other day.
I’ve used a coros pace 2 for a long time, definitely not private but very limited smartwatch bullshit and >week of battery with +1h of daily GPS tracked running. Not supported by gadgetbridge though.
