The first is Asteroid OS https://asteroidos.org/

The middle one is infinitime from Pine https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg

Last one is wasp OS https://github.com/wasp-os/wasp-os

Any suggestion of which order I should try them, if I'm going to be testing all three?

Edit: oh I see they have limited compatibility so I won't necessarily be able to try all of them.

I've been using infinitime for about 2 years now and recoment it. I think the pinetime can run both infinitime and wasp-os but you'll need a ex-wearos watch for asteroids-os.

I love my asteroid os watch. This thing is pretty nice.

I am glad to see FOSS watch OS's get some love

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Yup, those hardworking watch developers deserve all the love and attention!

It's not European (in fact it's US American) but PebbleOS was open sourced a couple of months ago as well

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

I like my software like I like my women. Open, supportive and with a strong sense of community.

I love my little pinetime.

It just keeps getting better every time infinitime updates. I still miss my old pebble but this thing has pretty much filled the void.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I never use it anymore. The notifications are effectively non-functional, since you can only have a max of 5 or something, and using any features other than just displaying the time/date reduces the battery life to D-tier smart watches.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Itโ€™s a nifty little watch!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

We would've cracked the blood glucose monitoring already by now if all the smart watches were open-source.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

I hadn't even thought of this before, but now it's top on my list of things to try. I pretty much only use my smartwatch for notifications and for tracking my sleep. I could be doing so much more with it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I was aware of open source OSs for watches - thank you for sharing this!

I don't suppose any of these three options has anything similar to Fitbit yet, right?
