AsteroidOS Support & Compatibility Rating System

This rating system indicates the level of support AsteroidOS provides for different smartwatch hardware, serving as a rough guide for potential purchasers to understand what functionality they can expect from each device. Additionally, it helps porters identify specific features to implement when contributing to device support, allowing them to select targets based on missing functionality they wish to tackle.

⭐ First Star: Experimental / Proof of Concept

A watch earns its first star when it demonstrates basic functionality:

Successfully boots into AsteroidOS
Has working graphical interface with functional touch response
Navigation through the launcher is possible

⭐⭐ Second Star: Enhanced Usability

To earn a second star, the watch must achieve the first star criteria plus at least one of the following:

Functional Bluetooth connectivity
Complete suspend functionality with reasonable battery life
If disassembly or docking is required for flashing, the process is thoroughly documented with available 3D printing files for any necessary components

⭐⭐⭐ Third Star: Complete Functionality

The third star requires all of the following:

Functional Bluetooth connectivity
Complete suspend functionality with reasonable battery life
If disassembly or docking is required for flashing, the process is thoroughly documented with available 3D printing files for any necessary components

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fourth Star: Advanced Integration

A fourth star indicates excellent compatibility with AsteroidOS:

Working WiFi connectivity
Most standard sensors supported by AsteroidOS function properly (specialized or unusual device-specific sensors are not required)
Always-on display capability or equivalent feature works properly
Minor UI performance issues are acceptable
No disassembly or custom docking required for flashing
Free from significant hardware issues or complications

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fifth Star: Excellence

The fifth star represents exceptional performance and is:

Partially subjective in nature
Awarded based on superior battery performance, smooth UI experience, and GPS functionality
Designated as "AsteroidOS Recommends!" indicating our highest endorsement
