Does anyone have recommendations for the best / sleep tracker compatible with @gadgetbridge, or even just a decent one?

I'm getting jealous of all the data my wife is getting from her Apple Watch, but I'm not enthusiastic about using some cloud walled-garden service.

@cnx @PINE64 Every time I saw one of those they seemed a bit janky, but it looks like they are only like $30? If it's that cheap I might as well get one just to have it.

TBH @pganssle I’ve never got one (not a fan of wearing watches myself), but I’ve seen people claiming that it has decent build quality. Maybe @lupyuen can give you a better overview, he has worked on it quite extensively.

@cnx @lupyuen It was only $40 shipped so I just bought it. It doesn't have everything on my wish list but worst case scenario I gave some money to a company that's at least trying to do what I want 😛

AFAICT the big thing it doesn't have that my Pebble has is sleep tracking, but the Pebble is just using the accelerometer (not even HR monitoring), so I suspect higher-quality sleep tracking is possible with just software upgrades. Though I don't know that I'll have time to actually *implement* that…

@cnx At the end of the day I might end up buying a FitBit or some other "high end" fitness tracker with way more sensors and just deal with the privacy / control issues.

I'm starting to re-consider whether my privacy and control focus is really worth it since opsec is *really hard* and I'm protecting against a long tail risk and mostly not a concrete harm anyway. 🤷
