I would like to find a hackable smart watch that allows:
- gps
- cellular connection. But maybe just a data connection if I can write my own apps. I really want to record audio of my thoughts while I'm running.
- programmable? Android apps are great, but I'm open to other things.
- decent battery life, hopefully 2 days or more
I have been waiting for the right pine64 but it isn't coming. I love my banglejs but it doesn't have cellular.Are there any interesting things from Shenzhen? Or on Alibaba? I don't need an app store.
I'm really interested in something that can capture audio and submit it, perhaps receiving audio or text back without an elaborate screen interface. If I have that, maybe my kids can use it without getting sucked into the platform of apps and games and all the other awful stuff.
I still rock a Pebble. Nothing has dethroned it.
I'm no expert but I do like hackable smart watches, I own the Pine Time and the Watchy - and I've never heard of an open source cellular watch. Even without that requirement the options are basic.
Yes, I think I'm giving up on the hackable part. Maybe just something with the basic features of gps, audio recording, data capability. It would be nice to get messaging even if that means data only and not cellular.
But I'm wondering if there is something weird in a nook in the wilds of the Chinese electronics industry that I can play with...
Aimed at mor LoRa use, but you can def write apps for it.

Perhaps there is another watch with the same name?
