Ask HN: Which smartwatch is the best in self-hacking/quantified
self?
I want the smartwatch that gives the most control to the developer-
end-user. It should expose all biosensor data to include EKG
readouts so that a custom app can use it. In essence, I want a
computer to take over part of my job to regulate myself - it should
nudge me based on rules I set. E.g. if my blood oxygen saturation
dips below a set amount while I've been sedentary for a certain
time, I want a specific notification to breathe (as if I'm so
intensely focused on a task that I forget). It's perhaps absurd,
but you get the point - I should decide exactly how my watch
functions in tandem with my unique physiology.
