Thank you! It should be possible now with the G7 to have the watch pair directly with the sensor. We’re still on the G6. Agreed that would be much better than having to go through the iOS app and up to the cloud.
Honestly I don’t remember why I ruled out the PineTime. I purchased a Bangle.js and while it’s very small, it seemed very limited in what I could do with it. Of course with the Pebble announcement yesterday, that might change things.
PineTime is nice and cheap and does a little BlueTooth. It's easy to flash your own firmware to it; I think it might have been an option.
That said, Pine64 does not do a whole lot of work on their platform and I guess a lot of people are wanting _more_. It's a simple watch and for what it does and costs it's great. If you think you'll get an open source Apple Watch, you're going to be disappointed.
