    Oof, that, no warranty, unfixed design issues, etc. are tough. Are there even any alternative open source smartwatches with heart rate tracking?

      There are smartwatch diy kits, and there are some that can be flashed to a different, more open firmware. Last I checked, I hadn’t found any with heart rate monitors.

      For me, the appeal of the pebble (I have an old one) was very simple functionality of telling time and notifications from my phone.
