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

[–] ironcrotch@aussie.zone 148 points 8 months ago (3 children)

My god it’s all strings.

Always has been

not uncommon for data to be displayed on UI

This is a pinetime it looks like.

You should get one, open source and $30.

[–] ramsay@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Does it support the watch command?

user@watch:~ $ watch now

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 31 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.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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

Thanks for posting! I was looking at the pinephone esrlier but this would be an even better tinker device for me atm!

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 8 months ago (10 children)

The pinephone is not really usable now. The pinetime is awesome though.

The stopwatch is only working while it's on the screen and the screen is active. Notifications stay there until you manually discard them. The heart rate sensor is a complete toy since you can only manually trigger it, and it took 2 years for the infinitime devs to read the sensor docs and realise their algorithm is bad. The step counter can only automatically sync, so when it fails to do so for half a day you need to walk around and shake your wrist while keeping you phone and watch screens active. And the list of fails continues beyond that.

On top of that it costs 65€ ($75) when ordering from the European warehouse, and they don't allow you to order from the main one because it would end up cheaper. Don't waste your money unless you need a reason to practice cpp.

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

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.

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They should put it as Unix epoch instead!

Let's go back to binary blobs. Everything being xml and json is boring.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have just the thing for you! Ever heard of binary XML?

Hopefully that's not a resting heart rate.

Clocky McClockface

Use datatypes

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 8 months ago

I've seen too many android devices with corrupt memory showing something like that to want it as a my watchface...

[–] Cwilliams@beehaw.org 17 points 8 months ago

If only fitness apis were actually that easy

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

You can connect to a vscode server on a Galaxy Watch, just sayin'

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