I just bough an GoClever Chronos ECO white better known as WeLoop Tommy. Cost? 80zł (about €20).
What is it?
User perspective:
This is a peble watch but cheaper. Has worse support, not many apps support it. Can last for 20 days (haven't verified that). Has no colors. Is some kind of a smart-watch.
I do already have Xiaomi MiBand which is way better - but has no display screen (what is not an issue at all).
My perspective:
An nRF51822 with nice display (LCD? everybody claims this is an eInk screen but I am not sure yet).
Display to put onto your hand that supports BT4.0 communication out-of-the-box.
SOme kind of open (?) source firmware.
No longer supported hardware.
It should last for 20+ days (probably shorter than MiBand).
No API (but the community does a good job - I hate manufacturers being so much dicks and not releasing the software).
Next steps?
- Flash it with OSS
- Communicate with it
- Write own communication module
- Display own information on the screen
- Release as open source
