There's a new fork of GadgetBridge on F-Droid with the same logo and name as the original one. Be careful which one you choose

What's the difference? Are they published by the same developers?

Seems they have changed their app name to Pulse Garmin watch companion (by zoop). It's looking increasingly suspicious to me.

Interesting, I'll keep an eye on it. If we were to give them the benefit of the doubt then changing their name to prevent confusion is a good start

https://gadgetbridge.org/ because I didn't know it existed. Seems a fun project.

I've been using it on some old smartwatches and it's pretty cool how it integrates with stuff like OpenTracks and Breezy Weather.

By any chance does it work with Garmin smart watches?

Nope.

Gadgetbridge itself works with the majority of Garmin watches, but the navigation feature doesn't. For advanced Garmin models you can upload a GPX track onto the watch itself and then use native Garmin navigation with it.

Has anyone had any luck with a Huawei model? The "(only some watches, unknown which)" isn't the greatest help.

Edited for clarity.
