The interesting part 😉

This blog isn’t for athletes… 🏃‍♂️🤦‍♂️. it’s for geeks and technology enthusiasts 💪. That’s why, I don’t write reviews about sports accessories here; I share development and research experiences.

So, I googled around for rooting\jailbreaking or any other hacks for this smartwatch. and… I didn’t find any information 😡. In some forums (for example 4PDA) I found information about editing the language files, etc., but there was no information about modding and hacking.

But, you can download apps from the ConnectIQ store to this device.

Okay, that’s good. This means that there is a developer mode that allows sideloading, obviously…

Indeed, I found official documentation for developing apps and sideloading them.

Oh, that’s interesting…

Updates soon, with God’s help.
