Hey,

I just got my Watchy today. It is pretty neat, actually (although I messed up multiple times with the screen protector and now it won't stick to the screen anymore, oops :P)

Anyway, I am planning to add support to Gadgetbridge for this, but Bluetooth support seems to be very limited on this device so far. It would be nice if the following was supported, so I could make Watchy be an useful companion with Gadgetbridge:

Thank you for considering!

I had the same thought. I think one particular issue to contend with is that unlike other smartwatches, the Watchy is in deep-sleep most of the time. I have a feeling that Gadgetbridge (and other apps) do a lot of pushing of data to the smartwatches, but in the case of the Watchy, it may be more of a pull-from-the-watch when it wakes up, and would require some caching on the app side until the pull happens.
