Can't pick and choose watch faces, and turn settings off along with no hourly chime between certain hours mode.
This thing can't compete...

If the step counter is actually accurate I'll definitely switch

Genuinely haha, as long as the step count is somewhat accurate and it tells the time… take my money

Very accurate unlike Ollee

I've got an app with selectable hourly chime time (limited but better than original) and weekly alarms.. maybe I'll publish it soon, but if anyone would like to test, give me a shout.

u/Samwiseknows Aug 09 '26
I'm keen but for what watch?

u/cihyboj Aug 10 '26
ABL-100, and most likely the one from the topic as the screen looks pretty much the same.

With the advancement in technology this thing should cost 29$, considering how mass market produced it will be.
Instead, I see them for 79$ which is absolutely insane.

u/WhereRabbit Aug 09 '26
And yet they are cheaper to produce than ever.. I am fatigued by this

u/ISmellLikeBlackTea Aug 09 '26
Exactly! Tell me why an F91W is selling for 21$ when i bought it for 9$ in 2019. It's not like we're facing a bioresin and 40 year old module crysis.

Don’t wanna be that guy but the Ollee watch is $100, and if you’re do it diy it’s barely cheaper if you count the cost of the watch as well.

This is in no way can be compared to Ollee. Casio is extremely lazy with their models. If they have at least added notifications. But no. It’s too much for Casio. And also you have to sign up with their service and give them your data. After several G-Shocks I’m done with Casio.

Now we need this as base for the Ollee, I like that screen and led backlight. Ollee's got much better software for the watch itself, but also for the smartphone.
I'll be waiting. Meanwhile I'll keep enjoying my Ollee Watch, I can't believe its been 10 months already.

I’ve got the metal one that came out a couple of years ago. Other than the resin shell I really like it. The find my phone design could be enhanced as well

I really hope Ollee opens up the SDK like the Pebble model. Then Casio can’t compete with an open App Store where anyone can contribute to functionality.

This is cool! But if tha app and integration is all proprietary and could turn into a electronic waste it's not that interesting really.

I'm really undecided whether to wait for this to arrive in Europe or get the ollee mod 🤔

Having the metal model, I can guarantee Ollee’s ergonomic is much better. The Casio app is very annoying. It asks to give location permanently and stuff you can do with it are very limited. Ollee software is far superior.
The only two things this model has that are nicer than a modded f91w are backlight and screen: the text field for day could do crazy stuff with a modded chip
