Our best bet for a sailfish connected smartwatch is indeed AsteroidOS.

Kido and others made attempts to build an sfos client called Starfish.
It was in planning to release with 1.0 last Q2 but got skipped due to a nasty bluetooth LE bug (or sfos shortcoming?) regarding authentication.
Jolla is aware of the problem but last news from them are from pre summer.

So literally we (all) are waiting for jolla to give any new feedback to this bug or solve it, to have someone else do a Sailfish Sibling Watch for them (they could again build upon) including client. But even that ... is ... slow... currently and gives a hint on how high watches are on Jolla-priority-list.
My bet, someone else finds a solution before Jolla does

I agree, it looked awesome.

Some people have installed it on their smartwatches and it looks quite neat. Good job.

AsteroidOS looks really promising. Is there any support for SFOS (yet)? Does it work well? Sadly it's about time I start to look for a replacement for my Pebble.

How!???
It's not even released!?

Edit: Are you talking about Sailfish Watch OS or AstroidOS?

I have been thinking to replace my Pebble steel with a new smartwatch. I don't like the Apple-ish look of the Time Steel, but LG Watch R looks nice.
Since BTLE is still an issue for Sailfish, has there been any progress using AsteroidOS and Sailfish X together?

btw: What are battery times of LG watch R with AsteroidOS?

IIRC it was tested with an xperia x and it was working ok with BTLE, not entirely sure what the state of the client is though.

That said the client is mostly just a front-end to the daemon:

There is also Amazfish (</plug>) which supports the Amazfit Bip using BLE on sailfish. Its a half decent watch with GPS, notifications etc at a low price.
