    I recently switched to using GadgetBridge with my Fossil Hybrid. It was a little annoying to set up, but it works.

      That’s the one, thanks! I better get to it before Fossil pulls the app. You need to extract a private key from the paired app correct?

        Yes, there are a few ways to do it. You need to have logged into the Fossil app with an email/password, it didn’t seem to work with “login with Google.”

        I used a python script that I ran on my computer that got the private key from the Fossil servers.

        NOTE: You need to add the private key before pairing with GadgetBridge, if you add it after then it won’t work.
