  Uch, was already willing to get rid of my garmin but this just gives me more motivation

    It’s also not trustworthy. Would you want the united states to have access to your heart rate, pulse ox, gps location, and other health stats?

      My main reason for wanting to get rid of it is indeed #BuyFromEU based, but tbh I’m also still using my google pixel (looking to install Graphene once I bought my appartement, don’t want to risk issues with my bank app right now)

      Probably getting a withings watch soon™

    It really sucks, they’ve been spared from noticeable enshitification so far but I guess the line didn’t go up enough anymore…

    I just tried it with my Fenix 6 and it does not appear to work at all despite being listed as partially supported. My watch can’t even be discovered by the app, even after factory resetting it and removing all of the Garmin apps from my phone.

    That’s a shame. I’ll go back to wearing my mechanical watch for a while, I think.

    AFAIK gadgetbridge is not even close to a replacement WRT functionality? Last I checked it only supported basic data import, has that changed?

      My Forerunner 165 is well supported, nearly the same as the official app.

      It depends of how well supported a specific model is
