    This is how I feel about smart watches. I just want something to get notifications on, find my phone when I set it down somewhere stupid, and control my music. I don’t need it to have apps or a thousand useless features that cause the battery to only last a day or two.

    The garmin instinct has been the closest I’ve gotten, but I wish it wasn’t so ‘sports watch’ looking.

      I have no experience with it myself but apparently Pinetime is a 30 buck watch that you can install a custom OS on / can customize your features.

      i like fucking with my devices tho…
      if it has a screen it will play bad apple and i will port all of my shit to it.
      I’m considering switching to mi band 7/some other ZeppOS device (maybe Amazfit?) from my Huawei band
      (zepp has js mini-apps)
