Fitbit Clock Face

128 comments

I unironically love this and would use it as my watch face just to get a reaction from my coworkers. Link?
- Heres the link to it https://gallery.fitbit.com/details/74a1aee7-457c-441e-9e93-ed17a18b01df?openwith=fitbit
  Repo: https://github.com/Sharkgrammer/clockface.json
- Yep. I switched. Doubt anyone will notice tho
My god it’s all strings.
Awful lot of strings that should have been integers. It is JavaScript, though, so I guess that tracks.
This is a pinetime it looks like.
You should get one, open source and $30.
- Does it support the watch command?
  user@watch:~ $ watch now
  Otherwise, who knows when "now" was...
  /s
- Watches should be round IMO. I'm happy with my Samsung Watch 4 Classic.
  
  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.
  
  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!
  
  The pinephone is not really usable now. The pinetime is awesome though.
  
  I tinker more with my pinephone than my pinetime, which is basically "waiting for an update and then applying it". Out of the 2 the Pinetime is the one I use, the Pinephone is currently substituting as a pihole because I broke the Odroid C1.
  There's a lot more to do and play with on the phone compared to the watch, but the watch is reliable to use daily.
- Gave a quick check, and it costs more than twice the price to buy it in EU, everything from Pine64, for some reason, odd, will look at this in more detail later at some point in case i missed something because the idea of an open, not locked, not tracking your every move smartwatch is appealing, but that doubling the price thing is a minus.
  
  Yeah I had a similar experience getting mine shipped to Canada, $30 but another $30ish for shipping. I hope one day they are available easier and everywhere.
- Ayy this is exactly what I'm wearing
- u sold me if it has hearthrate and stuff (idk what tracks sleep)
  
  It does not track sleep as that would require too much info to be sent to a third party. The battery is insane on it as well I get 5 plus days on mine.
- I bought one and wqs quite happy with it until it just randomly got stuck in a bootloop and no amount of resetting or letting it drain helped
  
  If it's been in the drawer for all this time, charge it again, it will ptobably boot. I had a similar issue, but didn't let the thing shut down conpletely (by making sure the battery is completely drained).
- What is a good OS for a dummy?
  
  IIRC it comes with a firmware called InfiniTime preinstalled. So I guess that one.
- What Android software could you use for managing it? Gadgetbridge seems to not have fully-developed support for it, even with their preferred firmware.
  I'm using Gadgetbridge with a hacked Amazfit Bip and I'm pretty happy. I like the multicolor TFT LCD w/no default backlight on the Bip, which is very readable in bright light and only requires a quick button press to get the backlight on in the dark, or you can waste more battery life and have it turn on when you turn it towards yourself. It's also got built-in GPS/workout tracking (you have to manually flash the A-GPS data occasionally...), the ability to load little open source apps, sleep tracking, heart rate tracking, notifications, custom watchfaces, etc which I'm sure the Pinetime has most of. The battery also lasts ages since it uses such a low-power LCD.
  I'm not saying the Pinetime isn't good, but decent alternatives exist. I would love a truly open-source smart watch, but maybe when the project is slightly more mature. I guess I could always get one and contribute to it... $30 is really not much. I'll definitely try it if my Bip breaks.
  
  I have found nothing that worked, was not spying on you, was not some hipster pipedream, and has lots of people working on it. Oh and gadgetbridge seems to work good, what do you mean not supported?
- Or a Bangle.JS 2 if you like GPS :-)
  
  But the pinetime uses the phones navigation/gps. I am not sure what that would do?
- First I've heard of it, is it a worthy successor to the Pebble?
  
  If you want a successor to the Pebble, also consider Bangle.js 2. It's a little more expensive compared with the PineTime but I got one and I'm very happy!
  
  Never owned a Pebble, But I think as they still make the pinetime it bodes well.
- Thanks for the heads up!
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.
- They should put it as Unix epoch instead!
  
  I once worked in a software shop where all release packages had the Unix epoch timestamp in the filename. Yes, these sorted brilliantly making it trivial to find the last one. But good luck finding a build from a specific date/time.
- The date format isn't even human readable (at least in American). It should be Sun, Jan 14th
  
  I still think YYYY-MM-DD should be more apt for an international release.
- Lol I came here to say this
I prefer YAML please
- Please, dont joke with things like this. Someone might take you seriously...
  
  XML it is!
- here you dropped your whitespace 🤏
- yaml sucks. I'd like a toml one
  
  I exclusively use YATL: Yet Another TomL.
- Sexpr master race!
Datestamp horror.
Everything's a string 😢
- Everythings an object 😰
  
  lua tables all the way down
Finally. A human readable format. And pretty too.
- Jesus I hope this is a joke. I hate json 🙄
  
  yeah for real, let's see an xml one instead
Hopefully that's not a resting heart rate.
- They’re just excited about posting this image online.
  
  If this is a photo for a bug report, it might have made his week.
- I'm sure it isn't.. but you'd be surprised how much resting hr goes up with age.

Use datatypes
I've seen too many android devices with corrupt memory showing something like that to want it as a my watchface...
If only fitness apis were actually that easy
You can connect to a vscode server on a Galaxy Watch, just sayin'
Here's one for Wear OS / Pixel Watch.

EDIT: And a terminal one.

You've got the hour hand and the minute hand… they're right there. What's wrong? /s
But a json file is used for storing settings and the like, not for providing real-time data, yeah?
- API calls often return json. It's just a data format.
- I think:
  that's the joke
  this is just a watchface template, not an actual file being updated constantly
- /sys/: am I some kind of joke to you?
  To be fair you won't find Jason there. But plenty of files that provide real time information about the system!
- No it's used for all types of data transfer and real time data as well.
- I mean, I've never used JSONs before but I imagine you could still write to them in realtime at least, as inefficient as that sounds lol. So you could probably get the same results on an actual text editor if you could modify it to update the text automatically when it detects a change instead of prompting the user
It's perfect 🥹
what does the last 4 mean under stats?
- distance: how far you've traveled if you put all the steps in a line (may also be gps tracked too)
  azm: active zone minutes or how many minutes you've spent with your heart rate in the "active zone" where you burn more calories
  floors: how many flights of stairs you've climbed
  calories: estimate of how many calories you've burnt based on all the other stats
  
  nice, thx
This is great
Duude this is so cool. Is there a watch like this for galaxy watch?
- Quick search came up with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.watchfacestudio.az261jsoncodewatchface
