I'm trying to take up running again (for the umpteenth time). 🏃‍♀️

So far so sore, but I can say that both my #BangleJS and #Fittrackee setup are working surprisingly well.

My old #Garmin #Forerunner died from lack of use but I'm being tempted by one again since I liked the old one.

Jeg har brukt en offline Fitbit Charge 3 som en stille vekkerklokke, men knappene har sluttet å virke. Noen anbefalinger til relativt smart klokke med god vekkerklokke-vibrasjon, og som helst ikke sender ut for mye info om meg? #banglejs #garmin #fitbit #smartklokke #smartklokke #smartwatch

Anyone got a #BangleJS ?

Thinking about my next watch and wanting something I can tinker with, and this one seems kinda fun

@ben curious how Watchy compare with #banglejs open-source watch

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but by my #banglejs watch, I never sleep! 😂

@flaki here's mine! #banglejs #banglejs2 #bangle #espruino

Note to myself, I used the build attached to this post to clear out the flash: https://forum.espruino.com/comments/16699364/

Now working on getting the firmware upgraded again. #bangleJS

@devSJR I saw the step count issues (difference between internal count and Gatdgetbridge) but haven't spent much time on it.

Funny you should ask, because just today I had my first real issue when it got stuck in a boot loop. I think I'm almost out of the woods though...

I haven't done as much coding as I thought I might, but it's nice for showing me notifications. #bangleJS

First animation is working 😁

I never understood the hype surrounding smartwatches. But then I found out that there is one that I can freely program using Javascript. I have a smartwatch now 😍

@blogmywiki I hadn't seen #BangleJS before. Thanks.

Perhaps it is time to revive the Pebble clock I designed but never completed...

And nice looking clock!

Choices for watch faces that display numerical seconds on #BangleJS 2: super buggy (Anton Clock+ which ignores most of its settings and won't display the day of the week or the week of the year even when those are turned on) or barely readable (Simple Clock With Date, which uses an LCD font).

And, of course, if I use either of these, my battery life goes to shit, because it has to execute a bunch of JavaScript and font rendering code every second.

I'd tolerate not having seconds if there were ANY timer that was reasonably fast to set. But the touch screen on the watch is fairly terrible and often takes multiple swipes for a swipe to register. It also requires a separate calibration app which for whatever reason is not loaded by default to register touches in the right place.

It's the third smart watch I've owned, and I've never been happy enough with any of them to keep wearing them. I think smart watches just aren't for me. I think I'm going to replace the battery in my Chase Durer pilot's watch and start wearing that again.

Hmm, displaying seconds on my #BangleJS 2 seems to cut the battery life down to less than a week. But I don't want to make it only display seconds when it's unlocked, because then I'd have to set it to unlock on twist, which IMO defeats the whole purpose of the #transflective #LCD.

I wonder how much displaying seconds on my #BangleJS even when it's locked is going to reduce battery life?

I wonder if I even care? It's too much of a pain to set a timer for short intervals. It's easier to just use the clock.

@cult there's always #BangleJS and various alternatives, but admittedly nothing "shrink-wrap" and non-hobbyist.

Thought I'd re-post some of my #projects here that I had originally tweeted now I've deactivated *over there*.
This project was to interface with an Aidex glucose sensor and display the live data directly on a Bangle.js watch:

I should re-visit this at some time to handle the full protocol (the patch stores data you can download) but that interaction is encrypted.

Just ordered a #BangleJS 2 from the #PiHut whilst I was just browsing for something else. Wow, that website's dangerous! 😂

Probably says more about my self-control, to be honest.

Allez hop, je redonne une chance à ma #banglejs 1:
* mise à jour des apps
* mise à jour du firmware
* réactivation dans #Gadgetbridge

Using the Calibrate app on the #BangleJS 2 makes a huge difference in the accuracy of the touchscreen. Makes it a lot less frustrating to use.
