I’m looking for a watch that can track my heart rate, stay on my tiny wrist, and that doesn’t cost a lot only to break frequently. Fitbit is….no longer meeting that criteria and was honestly out of my budget to begin with, but i am nervous about spending money again on something random that could also break just as quickly.
Any recommendations ? I have heard about pinetime, but I don’t have a computer or many technical skills - I couldn’t tell from the website if that device requires setup or tinkering to work? I basically just want to be able to look at my wrist and see my heart rate and what time it is. Nothing fancy, I don’t even really need it to sync to my phone, a long as it works for a few years and isn’t $90.
Oh heck yes. That extra tip solves my other problem with fitbit.
just keep in mind, the initial setup for that particular model requires some tinkering and following the guide: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Huami-Server-Pairing
it's a one time procedure though, and it's smooth sailing afterwards. you can check Gadgetbridge's website for other supported models that might be easier to pair up, though.
Do you know where the pairing key is stored? The instructions just say “obtain the pairing key” which isn’t particularly helpful…
