$199 Una Watch: A Repairable, Modular, Open-Source GPS Sports Watch

The Una Watch has lowered its price to $199 from an initial Kickstarter offer of $350. It features a modular and repairable design with open-source hardware and software components similar to the Pebble smartwatch but includes more fitness tracking capabilities akin to Garmin devices. The watch offers up to 10 days of battery life, dual-frequency GPS, heart rate monitoring, altimeter, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and USB-C charging for a replaceable battery. Una encourages user customization by allowing app development through its open-source SDK and even supports AI-assisted coding. Users can also design their own accessories or modifications using 3D printing due to the watch's accessible mechanical components. However, it is only IPX5 splash- and showerproof rather than fully waterproof.
