       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.

       | Garmin has always had about the best track record with data

       | Apple Watch is probably a very distant second -- especially now
       | since they've really nerfed the health data exporting. Launch
       | Health app, click on user photo, click "Export All Health Data",
       | wait forever, have "fun" parsing it.

       | Fitbit's always been a jerk about holding the data ransom for
       | paid membership tiers.
