This $199 GPS sports watch is repairable, modular, and open-source
The Una Watch is a new $199 modular, open-source GPS sports watch designed for repairability and user customization. It features standard fitness tracking sensors and encourages users to build their own apps using AI coding assistants.
Why it matters
The device represents a growing trend in 'right-to-repair' hardware that prioritizes longevity and user control over proprietary ecosystems.
The Una Watch costs less than most Garmin watches now that its price has been lowered from the Kickstarter offer of $350 to $199, but its modular, repairable design grabbed my attention first. It features a 1.2-inch MIP LCD display and up to 10 days of battery life, similar to the Garmin Forerunner 70 or the Pebble Round 2 I pre-ordered earlier this year. Like Pebble’s revamped watches, the Una Watch is also open-source, including its SDK, housing, and circuit boards, but it has more fitness features out of the box than Pebble’s watches currently offer.
