1/6 Pebble vs Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic: some early thoughts.

First thing that hits you: the weight. Samsung is 63.5g, Pebble is 33g. That difference is incredibly noticeable. After wearing the Samsung for years, the Pebble feels like nothing on the wrist. Genuinely surprising how much of a difference 30g makes.

New review time, as I test out the Google Pixel Watch 3 45mm!

In anticipation of my Pixel Watch 3 arriving soon, I've spent the past week porting my Freestyle Libre CGM app from the Fitbit Watch SDK to Android Wear OS.

This new version of the app scrapes the latest glucose reading from Freestyle's LibreLinkUp server every 15 minutes and stores it in Google HealthConnect to make the data available to other apps on Android, such as Google Fit and Fitbit.

The app also provides a complication and a tile for Android Wear OS 3.x+ to display the current reading and trend arrow.

I'm waiting to publish a release until I've tested on a real watch, but in the meantime the work-in-progress source is available on GitHub: https://github.com/c99koder/HealthConnect-LibreLinkUp

I have simple text data I want to display on my #AndroidWear, available on an API endpoint.

Is there any app to display that text on a Tile or Complication?

(The best solution will also support a template engine to use the API data with customizations)

Since I bought an Android phone, I bought myself an Android watch. A TicWatch Enduro.

I got it on Saturday lunchtime, and it's now Tuesday morning with 16% battery life (with the ability to go all the way down to 5%).

As someone who used an Apple Watch for about 2/3 years, I'm absolutely blown away at this thing!

My #PineTime smart watch suddenly stopped working last year (not expensive, but not high quality either). Now I can't decide between buying

1️⃣ an open-source #BangleJS that has more features, supports apps and is easily programmable, but also costs much more and could turn out to be low-quality too,

2️⃣ a high-quality #AndroidWear watch that has all features imaginable but isn't supported by #MicroG. Flashing #AsteroidOS could break some functionality & the “ease-of-use”.

What should I buy?
