Hi all,

Simple question. Does anybody know a (not to expensive) sportswatch that is supported by Linux / FOSS software?

(Yes, I know ‘FOSS software’ is two times the word software) 😀

    One of the reasons I am looking for a new sportswatch is because I try to reduce my smartphone use and I noticed that I actually took out my smartphone just to check the time.

    I have an old garmin vivosmart HR but I do have a problem with the charging cable. Plus I am not able to download the healthstats with my linux ‘daily driver’ laptop.

    Perhaps I should just get a cheap regular watch somewhere? 🤔

      I am not sure that checking the time in the watch instead of on phone counts as reducing phone usage…

      But anyway, any “smart” watch will not help you as they all need a phone app.

      Get a cheapo analog watch, in that case…
