asteroid VS GarminDB

I would get something off the hardware compatibility list for Asteroid OS (Linux for smart watches).

https://asteroidos.org/

it's not Android, sadly. If you want a FOSS smart watch, check out https://asteroidos.org/

There is AsteroidOS and I think one more that I can't remember the name of.

I would love a smartwatch with the philosophy of Framework. A consumer-friendly, high quality watch that works out of the box, and has privacy and repairability in mind. OS wise AsteroidOS looks like it has potential, but all its currently supported watches are kinda old.

Asteroid OS though it seems like development has fallen off. Their page says they are still active

I have this smartwatch running asteroidOS. Note that in the specs it lists half a GB or ram and quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and that it was discontinued 7 years ago. Yes, modern smartwatch way out spec a PS2, and if it was properly ported (not emulated) then yes you could actually play SA on your watch.

funnily enough that exact thing exists: AsteroidOS

How are you syncing/storing the data?

I've been a Garmin user for nearly a decade and would really like to get the data off their platform so I can do more with it.

There are a few self-hosted options (https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB seems like the best) but I keep kicking that can down the road.

You may want to check out https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB if you're using a newer (Elevate v4 or v5 sensor) Garmin device.

https://graphhopper.com/maps/ is an amazing product that is open source, but it just does routing (with GPX download). I wish it had a little PostGIS data browser that I could write into via routes I draw on the map, or I upload (or import from other devices using something like GarminDB or similar). That, and adding arbitrary points, would be great. Just a simple, general-purpose map authoring tool. I just feel like I'm missing something, it seems like this would exist already.

If you are just interested in getting the data, GarminDB works really well.

Have a look at GarminDB. It allows you to download all your activity files.

I found this https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB, it looks like the thing you're talking about. However it doesn't use "the" API or a API: It web-scrapes the data from your "Daily Summary" page on Garmin Connect. It can also import data that has been exported (manually) from Garmin Connect. Neither of these two are an API.

Ah, sorry I thought I had linked GarminDB in my post. It's a set of python scripts for downloading fitness and health data from Garmin Connect or a Garmin device via USB and importing into a SQLite database. The idea is then to visualize/analyze the data with something like Jupyter.

This tool is for Peloton -> Garmin. I personally haven't tried to export Garmin -> X myself as I haven't had the need yet, but there seems to be a few repos where I'd start looking: * https://github.com/petergardfjall/garminexport * https://github.com/tcgoetz/GarminDB
