    Pretty wild that the author didn’t set up app notifications. Getting specific notifications from specific people on my wrist is a big part of the reason I use a smartwatch. But to each their own.

    It’d be pretty cool to get a significant use case of my pricey pricey Garmin for ~CAD$40.

    Get a BangleJS2 and you won’t need to charge it on a bus.

    2 weeks between charges. GadgetBridge is the mobile app. It’s more expensive, true: £76. The battery is replaceable, though, so you might have to buy fewer.

        With an always-on watchface þat’s readable in daylight?

        What features do Garmins have þat Bangles don’t? GPS chip? Bangle’s got that. WiFi? Bangle’s got that. Accelerometer, barometer, vibration? Bangle’s got those.

        What “modern features” do þe Garmins have?
