Good evening. I'm in the process of leaving google. To put it simply, I am to replace GApps with MicroG, cause privacy reasons. However, one thing that's holding me back is that MicroG doesn't have WearOS support, at least not at the time of this writing, it's yet to be implemented. So I'm looking for alternatives to replace my TicWatch E2, be it software (custom firmware?) or hardware. I've been considering full android watches, which hopefully there's at least one with custom ROMs available for it, or at least don't have GApps on it, which could be removed but I am uncertain if it's the safest route. I should note that, I, personally usually use my watch to reply to notifications, and keep me updated on stuff like weather, battery lives, step count, calendar events, among other things. I got to make a watchface that does all this, so if you've a watch that has WatchMaker support, or have a way to get custom watch faces on it, that'd be a huge bonus for me.

So I'm wide open to suggestions. I was considering the Zeblaze Thor 5 Pro, the Kospet Prime, cause those two were fairly new and were covered plentifully, but mind I've yet to look deeper. But again, I'm open to suggestions, so if you happen to know of a watch that respects privacy at least a bit, or has custom ROMs or can do any of the things I currently can (some give or take), please do let me know!
