So I want te find the most feature rich smartwatch that doesn’t send data to the manufacure. I have tried the Pinetime watch, but it died after 6 months.

Infinitytime (OS) was not realy that feature rish, so I want to secrufise an Open Source watch OS. But I still want to connect it with Open Source software, like gadged bridge.

What is my best option under €200? Maybe the Xioami Mi band 7 (€50) that is supported by gadgedbrigde?

    Reading my blood sugar off my CGM without taking my insulin pump out of my pocket is huge actually. I’m using a $25 pinetime for that.

      You could get a blood sugar reading device like AccuChek that is far, far superior, and lasts for decades. It samples your blood and is the size of a couple small smartphones, is repairable and durable. Not to mention, about as accurate as it gets commercially.

      The machine costs $10 with 10 vial strips. A 50 strip vial pack costs ~$14. The machine is made for medical usage.

        I guess you don’t know what a Continuous Glucose Monitor is. It’s a medical device that is attached to my arm with an adhesive pad that monitors my blood sugar continuously, and reports it over bluetooth to my phone. What you’re talking about is a glucometer which I also have (freestyle lite)

          What is the need for a CGM? My grandma is far more ill than you ever could be, and she does not require a CGM, even though her blood sugar levels can fall off to 20-30 at times. Diagnosing yourself periodically should be the norm, as opposed to hooking yourself up with a statistical machine for something like this.

          Misunderstood the phrasing.
