I used to wear an iPod Nano (around 2012) to count the steps and pacing but now is broken and I don’t have any Fitness Smartwatch or similar, so I thought taking a picture of the machine could work… 🤔

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Ahh one thing I’d like to do at some point, when Apple have the Apple Watch my wife wants, is to build some Apple Watch Apps that pull various bits of data off, like Heart rate, Blood Oxygen levels, Weight, Steps, Distance etc and ingest those into a private Dashboard. 👌 – Then maybe open source this and provide this to others that might want similar convenience/functionality without giving up their data to a 2nd/3rd party.

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Ahhh I’ve actually looked into this before, unless things have changed, my opinion is that the PineTime isn’t not quite ready for consumer use. It’s probably great to tinker with and hack with, etc. But I’d be hard pressed convincing my wife to use some half baked thing 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net @ullarah those Pine devices look amazing.
I’m watching (pun intended, ha) that the final price to my home for the Watch is 57 USD which is not bad.

I agree it’s too geeky and perhaps incomplete as a solution.

I don’t think you can extract info from an Apple Watch w/o using their APIs so finally Apple is having your data… #noIdea
