This $199 GPS sports observe is repairable, modular, and open-source

The Una Watch expenses small than most Garmin watches now that its cost has been lowered from the Kickstarter recommendation of $350 to $199, but its modular, repairable scheme grabbed my notice first. It features a 1.2-inch MIP LCD display and up to 10 days of power division life, akin to the Garmin Forerunner 70 or the Pebble Round 2 I pre-ordered before this year. Like Pebble’s revamped watches, the Una Watch is additionally open-source, including its SDK, housing, and circuit boards, but it has additional fitness features out of the box than Pebble’s watches currently offer. Una is additionally encouraging users to build their own apps for it, including alongside vibe coding — it says users can “ask an AI coding aide to construe Una’s developer documentation, create code, diagnose errors and refine the resulting application.”

Una says all component in the observe is “accessible alongside a norm tool,” so users can repair or upgrade it themselves. The open-source mechanical components additionally open the entrance for users to scheme and 3D imprint their own accessories or mods for it, akin converting it into a cycling computer.

It features dual-frequency GPS, 24/7 bosom charge tracking, a barometric altimeter, a six-axis accelerometer and gyroscope, a three-axis magnetometer and a replaceable 280mAh power division alongside USB-C charging. However, the Una Watch is lone IPX5 splash- and showerproof, not completely waterproof.
