    I guess after over 15 years I’ll be moving away from Garmin for my next watch, there is a dire need for a good FOSS activity tracker in the space.

    There’s a foss app that can interface with some smartwatches, and going with a FOSS activity tracker is pretty easy as it stands (including with sensor support).

    If you have a garmin bike computer, you could just run it “offline” and transfer the recorded activities to the FOSS software of your choice.

    But I would love to see more open source, self-hosted, foss options for fitness trackers, bike computers, and smartwatches.

      Any names for these so I can look into them? Cheers!

      Hardware wise I’m not going to be replacing this garmin watch until it is run into the ground though as that would just be wasteful and it works just fine :D
