Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

    What does that even mean?

    You can’t even get the manufacturer to get updates past 6 months of being released.

    Are people out there really writing their own firmware for smart watches?

      Not firmware, but apps to which the watches connect.

      I’m talking watches with Bluetooth-only connectivity, like Mi Band, not full-fledged machines like Apple Watch.

      But yes, there is also open-source firmware for high-tech smart watches, too
