I've already looked into gadgetbridge, but all supported devices unfortunately have fairly limited functionality. I get that it's the premise with the reverse engineering they do to make things almost work.
The bangle.js models are a fucking ugly apple watch clone, I'd never wear that thing. And I'm not looking to get an actual smartwatch, I have no need for any of that clutter or a desire to charge my watch daily or every other day.
I've used a coros pace 2 for a long time, definitely not private but very limited smartwatch bullshit and >week of battery with +1h of daily GPS tracked running. Not supported by gadgetbridge though.
What I gather from the reviews of so-called "super shoes" that I've read, is that just stuffing a carbon plate in a shoe does not necessarily make it better, and can often make it worse if not done right.
I've only bought a laptop from lenovo directly once, and it was horribly overpriced. Don't know it it changed in the last 15 years since I bought it though.
Edit: for clarification, I'm not still using that one, it died many years ago.
And all of them are limited or require official app alongside of it. I repeat myself; there are no good open source (or just privacy respecting) HW solutions available.
That's not HW, I need the bloody HW to do any actual HR tracking. GNSS without HR is not worth much to me. There are no good HW solutions on the market, they either violate privacy or suck on a functional level.
A good, no fuss, simple open source GNSS tracker with HR that is compatible with gadget bridge would go a long way. I just want something like a classic casio digital watch that tracks my runs and forwards the raw data for analysis on my phone or a self hosted service.
Regarding age verification I think that things we generally don't allow kids access to in real life could make sense to age restrict online as well. Something like gambling comes to mind, and I wouldn't personally consider it a fascist action to limit access to that.
Edit: again, under the prerequisite of properly implemented zero-knowledge proof so the site only knows if you're old enough but not actual age, name or anything.
