I know that the diabetic community are extremely interested on these watches. 30 days of battery life, already working support for Android APS and xDrip with these watches. What is there not to like. Put one of these to your child's wrist and they can get alerts on the glucose level easily.
- hda111 2y agoGlucose levels were my first thought as well.
- drdec 2y agoI don't understand how the watches help with glucose levels. The specs mention step, sleep and heart rate tracking. What am I missing? (Vested interest as a diabetic myself.)
- efdee 2y agoDiabetics have a sensor on their bodies that speaks Bluetooth. It talks to their phones (running eg. xDrip). The phone then communicates this to the watch. My wife is a diabetic and this kind of stuff, while it seems minimal, makes a big difference for her quality of life.
- pimeys 2y agoIt's all about building these things by yourself. The tools are there, and Pebble used to be the first smartwatch every open source diabetic I know used (including myself). If you're not familiar, here's a good starting point: https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Oh, and you want to avoid Apple's hardware. Some of the software can only be distributed as source code, so installing them to an iOS device is not easy.
