Finally. A human readable format. And pretty too.

Jesus I hope this is a joke. I hate json πŸ™„

Would you prefer Yaml?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

yeah for real, let's see an xml one instead

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Ah yes, perfect data format, where markup takes more space than the actual data.

You've got the hour hand and the minute hand… they're right there. What's wrong? /s

My god it’s all strings.

not uncommon for data to be displayed on UI

Always has been

This is a pinetime it looks like.

You should get one, open source and $30.

Watches should be round IMO. I'm happy with my Samsung Watch 4 Classic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but square screens are way cheaper to procure and to program for, and every little helps in an open source project aiming for $30.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

honestly just depends on what kind of watchface you want, square is cheaper and in some ways more convenient so if you don't want an analog clockface there's no reason to bother

Does it support the watch command?

user@watch:~ $ watch now

Otherwise, who knows when "now" was...

u sold me if it has hearthrate and stuff (idk what tracks sleep)

I would not say that any of the features work well enough to consider them as actual features. The only thing that is truly reliable is telling time.

My battery life is about 3 days. The notifications are ugly and bare minimum. It does not store more than 5 at a time.

I would not say that any of the features work well enough to consider them as actual features.

That is a bold statement. I as someone who was considering purchasing one, could you elaborate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

That’s something I think I’d like to use, but I don’t know if could get over the fact that neither the date nor the time are in ISO 8601 format.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Awful lot of strings that should have been integers. It is JavaScript, though, so I guess that tracks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I unironically love this and would use it as my watch face just to get a reaction from my coworkers. Link?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Yep. I switched. Doubt anyone will notice tho
