The Una watch is pretty much made to be hackable, with its interchangeable parts and open development environment. But it’s also pretty barebones at launch, without many features available yet. However, here are five things I’ve discovered I can do with it—and I hope to expand this list quite a bit as the device and its community mature.

Use HabitLab to get a recovery score
But if what you’re really hoping for is a recovery score or an overnight HRV reading, the HabitLab app combines that with habit tracking. Every evening, the watch will buzz and ask you to check off which habits or factors played into your day: Alcohol and late meals are among the options, and the watch will automatically detect morning or evening workouts to add them to the list. In the morning, the watch asks you how you slept, and then it gives you a score based on your resting heart rate, HRV, and your subjective rating.
By contrast, the barcode app worked even better than I expected it to. It’s meant for a parkrun barcode; each participant in the free weekly 5K has a number that you can use to check your results online. But it works just as well for other barcodes.
The app supports QR codes as well as regular barcodes, and to enter a QR code, you just type in a shortened URL. (It needs to be 22 characters or less.) This means that the Barcode app is also a QR code creator, a nifty feature indeed.
See how little daylight you have left
The app grabs your GPS location once a day, which means that for the first few hours I wore it, the sunrise and sunset times were incorrectly listed as 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. But as long as you aren’t flying to a drastically new location every day, the app does the job just fine. As a bonus, it changes the color of the screen’s sky to show daylight, nighttime, or sunrise/sunset colors.
Download the developer toolkit and build something
If you want to hack this hackable watch, you might as well take the plunge and try to build something yourself. Instructions are here to download the development tools for Windows, Mac, or Linux, and there are tutorials for different features you might want to use and implement. There are also about a dozen example apps you can build on, including activity trackers, watch faces, and glances. I'm not much of a coder myself, but this is the friendliest setup I've seen for someone to get into building their own apps for a watch.
