Smartwatches that provide access to their barometric sensor?

[dennisguse]

@vanous do you know if there are smartwatches (ones that are supported by Gadgetbridge) that provide barometric data via BLE?
I will get a new phone and it doesn't have a barometric sensor, but I need one...

Hmm,

even my original Bip has altitude and pressure but these are not exposed to ble... and are only available when the GPS chip is running. So to be honest, I really don't know of any device. I will ask around and will let you know.

Thanks!

Interestingly enough, look at this PR which we are about to merge:

https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/pulls/2564

Read atmospheric pressure from device. But i am not sure if this can be observed also on earbuds...

Thx! Does not really fit to my plan as I need the barometer while cycling (and want to wear a cycling helmet) ;)
