Cool device. A bit short on the sensors, but I understand why for a first iteration. Hope it's successful enough that later revisions will include a few things I'm keen on: * Pulse ox * Continuous heartrate * GPS+Compass But it's a cool device anyway.
Oura looks new with no monthly subscription fee. It looks like horrible to wear for serious sport though.
I have Whoop but will cancel the monthly fee once my intro period is over.
But Whoop would be worth it for me if instead it would be a flat price own outright + they allow 3p access to all the data not just heart rate.
The whoop in theory is great but it doesn't capture my sport's 'strain' well and the heart rate lags my treadmill band. I can't verify the sleep but it seems to be more accurate at least measuring my interruptions. But if it was flat rate not $30 a month i think it would be good enough.
Has anyone found a good fitness metrics watch that is more open source (no monthly fee)? Oura looks new with no monthly subscription fee. It looks like horrible to wear for serious sport though.

Why does this article not have any pictures of the watch? It only has renders, even though the author supposedly has one.
Maybe I'm a curmudgeon, but I have subzero interest in smartwatches, even hackable or open source models. I want my watch to tell me the time, and I want it to do so 10, 20, and 30 years from now without having to fiddle with software. I love Linux. I cut my teeth on it in high school after one too many viruses on Windows XP made me bite the bullet and try debian. I love my Raspberry Pi. It went from retro-gaming con…
Conversely, I'm not keen on the idea of having to manually wind my watch, or remembering to fix the date at the start of every month.
More options is good for everyone though, so I'm glad both exist!
This is a bit bigger, but GPS and LORA, accelerometer, color screen, still cheaper https://www.banggood.com/LILYGOTTGO-T-Watch-ESP32-Chip-Progr...

I am making a list of things along similar lines i.e. devices that do one or two things really well, preferably mechanical, well-built etc.. Suggestions?

Comment there says they're only selling the "Basic" which doesn't include GPS or LORA

I guess it's a bit like the itch of building your own desk or some beautiful wooden furniture - I like the idea of slowly refining my own watch software until it's perfectly suited for me.
