   @floppy @Graycot @PINE64 I have the pinetime from pine64 and for the price its a great watch. Its not the best watch but its not at all slow. There is not one time where any part of the ui gets slow or anything. The os is made really good for the low hardware and they try to not put so much things in the os that will use up the storage/ram

     @Graycot Regarding FLOSS smartwatches, what do you think of the PineTime from @PINE64? You might be interested in having a look at the wiki.

     BangleJS seems to be a similar project.

     A more DIY approach might be Open SmartWatch (as in print your PCB and case).

     Related is AsteroidOS, which runs on proprietary hardware.

     F(L)OSS Philosophy is starting to establish a presence in the smart-home, mobile OS, mobile hardware, and laptop hardware markets. I'd love to one day see a smart watch built from the ground up using FLOSS methods. Perhaps a de-googled Wear os 3.0 once decent hardware begins to actually support it (not included Sams*ng's "One UI" ).
