    Xiaomi mi band 8.

    Specifically with gadgetbridge. It’s the main reason why I got this one. At the time it was the cheapest watch that gadgetbridge supported.

    Other than notifications it’s mainly used as an alarm clock. Anything on the nightstand would wake up the rest of the house before it manages to wake me up. While since I sleep with my arm under my head. I basically have the watch up against my ear…

    Also. While it’s still notifications in the end. I have a small script running on my homeserver/pi that checks when there are issues with the train I use to commute to work (delays. Reroutes cancellations. Etc…) If there are any issues. It just uses ntfy.sh to send notification on my phone. Which I rarely pull out at work since I work up on scaffoldings most of the time. (Unfortunately the national train service’s app lacks this kind of notifications built-in. But at least they make train data easily accessible)
