Thanks to x29a, Gadgetbridge 0.59.0 now supports the open source custom firmware for the SMA Q2 done by Emeryth over at github.com. The devices features an always on reflective display and four buttons. For those who want a fully open source experience including the the firmware on the watch, this could be an option, along with the bangle.js and PineTime.

For Fossil Hybrid HR users, thanks to Arjan Schrijver (again!!) Gadgetbridge 0.59.0 also has a really cool watchface designer for new firmware versions. Without using the official app, it is now possible to create new watchfaces with a custom background and freely positioned widgets (weather, date, steps, HR implemented so far).
