I like the idea of that new colour screen Pebble but I don't know if I can be seen in public with that fuckass ugly turbonerd thing on my wrist

I don't love the original pebble style, I'm hoping they'll do a pebble time or time steel style normal rounded square case eventually. I was using my pebble time until November. It still works fine.

I guess this goes in here? My work has been particularly lovely lately and I decided that I need to make some overall diet changes so when I saw the Abbott Lingo was FSA eligible and I had already put too much into my account I decided gently caress it, try it for $50... For all the talk of glucose monitoring being the next big thing in wearables, the only thing it seems to have told me is that I am not diabetic? Plus sides, I mean, it should be expected from an injectable medical device but the overall install experience and setup was pretty great? For something with a giant needle, putting it on was basically painless and I completely forget that I am even wearing the sensor unless I happen to brush it with my hand or see it in the mirror. Anyone getting anything actionable out of one of these?

Three Olives posted:I guess this goes in here? Becky Stern did a teardown/look inside video about these constant glucose monitors recently, although she didn't look at the LIngo but the Freestyle Libre and also a Dexcom model. She's into wearable tech so she'll look at products like rings that do health tracking and show electronics projects for wearable stuff now and then, as well as just general electronics projects. What I got out of the video is that they can be beneficial for folks who aren't diabetic if they want to learn how their body reacts to food with regard to glucose levels. This can be helpful if you're trying to work on a diet or see what kind of carbs your body reacts differently to. Her friend David also put one on and she talks about the differences with the insertion method and also how the needle mostly goes just below the skin to access the subcutaneous fluid instead of blood. There's a slower reaction to seeing glucose in that fluid than the bloodstream but it does show up. They're supposedly going OTC soon (or already are) so anyone can pick one up, they do seem to be about $50 and it's a one time use 10 or 14 day battery. She pointed out that if you're not diabetic you don't need to monitor your glucose all of the time so it may be a helpful guide if you want to check on it now and then, but you won't need to use one constantly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZTcJdSd2Rk edit: oh and yeah she doesn't talk in detail about how to use one to help with your diet, the video focus is more on the electronics and trying to see how it's made.

I'd listen to this before considering glucose monitoring in the absence of metabolic disease https://m.soundcloud.com/user-344313169/episode-221-continuous-glucose-monitors With this update from Jan 2025: quote:Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) are electronic devices that measure the concentration of blood sugar, or blood glucose, and provide the value to its wearer. Also a non-zero risk of developing disordered eating depending on how you use one.

webcams for christ posted:I'd listen to this before considering glucose monitoring in the absence of metabolic disease This pretty much checks out, it just tells me that my blood sugar holds steady in the healthy range, I can see spikes when I eat something but stays well within the health range. I guess with all the talk about how all the wearable makers have been trying to get glucose readings, it's been an Apple Watch rumor for years that it would tell me something besides my blood sugar spikes a little bit when I eat something, which really doesn't tell me anything helpful. Oh well, it was $50 that I was probably going to have to use on useless poo poo at the end of the year like I did last year.

nonathlon posted:I know people loved the Pebble, but why? Long battery life? Amazing apps? I posted this in the WearOS thread - My key feature of the old pebbles was that you could put it on the media control screen (had next/previous, volume, media info etc), and it would just... stay there until you backed out of it. With the physical buttons, this meant easy track and volume control without even looking at the watch. It also still had a tiny clock at the top of that screen. As someone else mentioned in that thread, you could also assign shortcuts to two of the buttons on the right. I think a watch display is getting to be too small to rely on a touch interface for most interactions (based on my experience with a Galaxy Watch Active2 - others might be better at it). The longer battery life compared to its contemporaries was also great, and at the time not many other smart watches had an "always on" display. With ~30 day battery on the new ones this is even better of course. I'm sure the WatchOS and WearOS app ecosystems are better at this point but there were plenty of useful apps available on PebbleOS. The pricepoint was also a bit better than early Apple/Samsung/WearOS watches.

My mother-in-law uses a CGM and the main thing you'll notice is that her phone is constantly, constantly beeping. It beeps to yell at her whenever she goes out of range and it loses signal, it beeps when she goes low, it beeps when she goes high... and she's actually extremely good at managing her diabetes, but the loving thing goes off every 30 minutes mostly because she went too far away and it freaked out.

The latest withings product name clearly shows someone likes anime in their marketing offices. https://www.withings.com/eu/en/beam-o Shame the display doesn't show a "Cast in the name of god, ye not guilty" message at boot.
