I have Galaxy Watch 4 and Pixel with GrapheneOS. Currently I have second profile with galaxy wearable and google play services for connecting to the watch. Before I’ve installed graphene I was using my watch as any other person, for notifications, sports, etc. Now I use it only for checking what time is it and developing apps. I can see my sports activity only for a week back, because samsung health only works on main profile.
Is there a way for me to use my watch on main profile without google and samsung apps? Maybe with some alternative app? Or should I sold my watch and buy a new one? I’ve heard good things about garmin and polaris? I would love option to develop my own apps on them.
As far as I know it can’t be done.
Look at the watches on here: https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/
I have Amazfit Balance and it works very well, all the data is locally synced to my phone, none of it goes to Google or China.
+1 for Gadgetbridge.
I just bought a Garmin Venu 3 and haven’t installed any Garmin app and can still use the watch without problems.
