Yeah I didn’t care as much about degoogling 3 years ago when I got it. And I hadn’t opened my eyes to what lengths these companies do to limit your freedoms for their gain. I will definitely look into the pebble when it comes out.

I bought vivoactive and sent it back because its app couldn’t do what I wanted.

I just hate how you’re locked into their app regardless. I want more control of what metrics and reminders I want to get. Fitbit can give you a reminder if you havent done your 250 steps this hour. Garmin can remind you to make steps every now and then. What if I want custom reminders like “vibrate if heart rate has been below x for y minutes” or choose graphs that I can put as widgets. No control over any of it.

Oh you’re right, I think it does indeed have what I need. I wonder what open source app I could get for my iPhone now that EU has forced Apple to allow third party app stores.

Look really good! :)

At the moment I still have iOS, so maybe for my next phone!

What is gadgetbridge and what do you get out of it?

I wanted something that reminds me every time I have been sedentary for too long by vibrating so I can get up and move. I often get lost in my research and I don’t want it to affect my health. There are other ways to deal with this yes.

Garmin too, but it didn’t suit my needs. I tried it.

I love the idea of pebble, but I’m using it as a fitness tracker (steps and pulse etc). I wish there was a fitness tracker where I have full control of what metrics I wanna monitor and how to monitor them and when it should vibrate etc. none of that I have with Fitbit.
