Better then my cheap watch so far. Works with Gadgetbridge without ever installing the official app as well. Part of the page says you need to use the Nothing app with their watches first, but then for this one says you don’t. So wasn’t 100% sure.
Can’t easily update the firmware, but I don’t care.
The cheap watch which was $20 or so, has a serious issue, it will wake up if it’s touching something, and it has called somebody on accident. I disabled the calling on the cheap watch. In fact, I don’t think I intentionally enabled the calling on that watch.
Says something about do not disturb not working, I think they mean automatically turning it on. Had issues with that on the cheap watch anyways. I can just manually do it on watch and phone, I don’t care. I could have disabled the moving of my wrist to wake it up.
If this one does it too, then I will disable that.
The screen is bigger I think. And being round is different, will take a while to get used to it. Wasn’t sure I wanted it for that reason, but I think I like it.
To change to 12 hour time format, use the Gadgetbridge app.
I didn’t want to spend $150 on the Bangle.js 2 watch, if it went on sale, I might have bought it.
Kind of glad I didn’t though, this $60 watch is nice for the price. You can tell the difference between it and the $20 one. Even the strap is more comfortable.
Don’t care if my watch has WiFi.
I mostly want notifications. Don’t even care if I can respond on a watch, the watch is too small for typing anyways.
Didn’t buy Amazfit, because you need their app at least once.
A bug in Gadgetbridge, could possibly require using the Amazfit app again. You might need it every time you repair it. So if it somehow unpairs it, you have to use the Amazfit app again.
Also, I think all those reviews are fake on Amazon on the $20 watch. Should have looked for some bad reviews. But I’d have to login to see all the reviews. But fake reviews is common on Amazon anyways, and they sell a bunch of junk.
I bought this watch directly from Nothing. Looks like no tariffs, so it came from the US.
