That is what Original Poster also wants. ( More about OP below ) The so called smart watch has BlueTooth. This email thread, I think, was started to get more information about using "BlueTooth" on Debian systems. (OP should do better to express what the actual question is.) As I see it, is https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser now the best place to go. > Abbott wants everything uploaded to their servers and I quit reading > the terms of service when it got to them giving out my data after > 'anonymising' it. I hear what you say. I agree with you. Most likely we are aware of the challenge. (And we are facing already other challenges.) > Regards > Lee Groeten Geert Stappers About Original Poster: I have never met Gene Heskett. When we will, I guess he will do 80%, may be 90% of the talking, unlikely fifty-fifty. I think I will OK with the non-balanced dialog, because I knew it from the begining. Beside the difference in verboseness between Gene and me, there are lots of common goals. For starters "Debian". Gene wrote in mailinglists posts about his work as engineer, where he did serious trouble shooting. -- Silence is hard to parse
