Today I want to show you the amazing device that ran my life for...3 years? It's this smart watch:
The specific model is the ZGPAX S8. My father got it gifted at a conference and gave it to me after finding no use for it. First I uninstalled all the useless apps on it and installed the Nova Launcher.
What I used the watch for:
- Timetracking
- On the main screen you can see the main categories that I tracked with this watch. Starting to track a category only needed three clicks. 1 to get to the home screen and two to select the category to track.
- Timers
- The multitimer app on the homescreen is very useful for pomodoros
- The left app on the homescreen is also a timer app that I used for arbitrary time-intervals when I did not want to forget something.

To this day I haven't found a more convenient way to run my timers and timetracking. By now I am just using the same apps on my phone. It's less convenient, but unfortunately Google stopped supporting the android version of this watch. I tried getting a new one, but it's hard to get full-android watches. I just recently bought a watch for 250€ (the Brave3), because I thought it would be able to support this workflow, but for some reason I was then not able to run the playstore on it (it just crashed). I also tried using the Kospet note. It successfully ran my apps, it was just so large it hurt my wrist.
