I'm looking for any suggestions for smartwatch that it similar like Google Pixel Phones with GrapheneOS. Is there such a thing?

The Bangle.js 2 is pretty cool

That's what I use. It's way more stripped down than a modern smart watch, but it has good battery life, a transflexive LCD, can discretely give me notifications so I can keep my phone on silent, and can show me the weather at a glance.

There are more things it can do, I just find my phone is better for the majority of them.

That covers all my smart watch use cases tho.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Does it support an external Bluetooth HR monitor?

Apparently, an app does that

Are the notifications actionable? (Snoozing alarms, canned replies to messages, etc)

I couldn't find that important detail on the website easily.

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago

You can snooze alarms, play/pause/ff/rw media, and mark messages as read

transflexive LCD

LMGTFM (Me). Oh its easy to read (almost) regardless of light conditions. I too like my notification to be separated and discreetly delivered.

Sorry 8), thanks for the heads up. I'm filling in shipping info now.

what do you mean by "good battery life"?

[–] Grunt4019@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Disclaimer I don’t have one, but seems like 2-4 weeks between charges.

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

That's been my experience

[–] infinitevalence@discuss.online 9 points 5 months ago

That looks like the closest successor to the pebble I think I've ever seen.

I may need to order one and test it out.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And priced for the average human! Wow.

Damn, if I didn't need the fitness tracking support of my Garmin watch, I'd be all over that!

[–] P1r4nha@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Same here. Looks really cool, but I use a lot of sport features of my Garmin watch.

[–] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So frustrating that their logo is a nice looking round watch, but their product is an ugly rectangular one.

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 8 points 5 months ago

The original one was round.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 5 points 5 months ago

I think I've just found my next watch. It looks more useful than my current Fitbit Versa. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
