I’m a privacy focused individual, I run GrapheneOS on my phone & self-host as much of my tech stacks to avoid sharing info with. I’m looking for recommendations of smartwatches that align with the ideals of this community. What watch do you use? What do you recommend?

    Linux on desktop, self-hosting and GrapheneOS too.

    I have a few smart watches, namely PineTime and Watchy by SQFMI but… honestly I don’t wear them anymore simply because I try to be as minimalist as possible. In fact just yesterday afternoon I was wondering if I could do without GrapheneOS because I might actually NOT need a phone.

    So… what do you want out of watch?

    I can recommend both but honestly it depends on your need.

      What the goal of the watch is does seem important, Thinking about it a little bit I think these are what I’m interested in:

      • Telling the time
      • Media control
      • Notifications
      • Sleep / exercise tracking
