Thank you to all contributors who made it possible!

Enjoy the wrist-sized Linux ride!
I seem to have a tendency, a skill, a knack to choose and buy that specific hardware model that is not supported by these cool open source projects.
Same thing happened with PostmarketOS, I have a box full of old phones that are specifically not supported.
It’s a really shitty superpower.
I wish these guys luck.
I like the idea of a smartwatch, but I’m not accepting the Faustian bargain required to wear them. I can see my heart rate as long as Google can see my hearrate? No thanks, pass.
Let me first congratulate the devs on this milestone. Not many niche projects with small appeal last this long but this is impressive. Now, if they can get this working on Garmin and Polar watches the ball will really start rolling.
Can it track my sleep?
Not yet it seems. Also looks like it doesn’t have a pedometer function. Hopefully a future version will add those, along with some way of downloading that data
I’d also love to see activity tracking too.
