10:49:17PeterGammaFor an open source Linux sports watch with external BLE sensors, additionally GPS would be very helpful. The Kingwear KW88 Pro has GPS, but as far as I know, the Bluetooth stack is a mess. Is there another AsteroidOS watch which supports GPS?

22:35:01MagneFirePeterGamma: There are some other watches that have GPS (The Sony Smartwatch 3 and Huawei Watch 2 come to mind) but it's not supported from AsteroidOS just yet.
22:55:05PeterGammaMagneFire: Thanks, MagneFire. I am currently using a Garmin watch with a BLE footpod, and I don t use GPS at all, since a foot pod is very accurate, and battery life with GPS is shorter. But for an open source sports watch to be taken serious by athletes, GPS is required. I saw some developement work for the Huawei Watch 2 on the AsteroidOS GITHUB which looked great. What do you think. Is GPS for the Huawei Watch 2 far away to be developed?
23:15:02MagneFirePeterGamma: I didn't have a look into this so will probably take some time ;) Though I did get GPS to at least scan on the Sony smartwatch 3, but that's where it stopped (couldn't get a GPS location fix)
