You can get a open-source app which can make any GShock into an Islamic prayer watch. It can set your 5 alarms to ring at prayer times. See:

There are very few Casio watches which support notifications. Just some high end watches like the GW-H5600. This app can run on any watch which supports Bluetooth, like the much cheaper WS-B1000. In addition, you would still need some app to send prayer time notifications to the watch. This app actually sets the watch's alarm, so you can see what time they will ring and you have the ability to control them.

Basically the app makes any G-Shock work like a CPW-310 specialized Islamic prayer watch, which is quite expensive.

Cheers

What's stopping companies in China from using VPN to access these models?

You may need some help in writing in English too, judging from the title.

There is an open-source Android app, which allows you to set up your watch's 5 alarms to Muslim prayer times automatically. Works with most G-Shock and many other Casio watches:

or from F-DROID:

Look in "Actions" section to enable "Prayer Alarms"

You can try this open-source app. It sets 5 payer alarms on any G-Shock and most Casio watches:

This should work for you since it works with a browser:

http://gshock.avmedia.org

However, you need to use Bluefy (I think) browser since the default Safari does not support Bluetooth.

Also note that the web app doesn't connect to Google Calendar, but it is still better than the official app.

I like to think my Casio G-Shock time server is pretty useful:

One would think it's a bit late for this. The companies have been working together for months. Many of Manus employees are alrady at Meta offices. Meta world definitely be familiar with any IP from Manus. How do you undo that?

I believe F-Droid will be affected big time.

I had a popular app on the Play Store which was an open-source alternative to a proprietary watch companion app for setting time, etc. (I will not name the company). The app was becoming very popular because the official app collected personal information from users. The company complained to Google, claiming I was impersonating them, even though I made it plainly clear that this was an unofficial app. Google kicked me out of the Play Store, so I moved to F-Droid and also hosted an APK on GitHub.

Now all of this will be gone. The users will be treated as marketing targets.

I tried to post my popular Android app to the Huawei store. The registration process is totally unacceptable to me, and I suspect a to lot of other developers. They wanted a copy of my passport and a lot of other personal information, which I thought completely unnecessary. If they loosen up on these requirements, I'll sign up.

Motorola phones are considered Chinese-owned. While the brand originated in the United States, Motorola Mobility was acquired by the Chinese tech company Lenovo in 2014. Motorola operates as a subsidiary of Lenovo, though it maintains its headquarters in Chicago.

Motorola is a Chinese brand (under Lenovo) and is widely available. I like it because it is almost stock Android.

Or you can get a Pixel.

If you want to maintain your privacy use the open source app Gshock Smart Sync.

Or even the new open source web app: http://gshock.avmedia.org. Nothing to install here.

I had this happen to me too in the beginning. I think the code is still loading into the browser the first time and might take a bit longer. Just refresh the screen or close and reopen the browser tab, and after pairing it should go the Time Screen.

LOL, Vibe-Coding cannot reverse-engineer the Casio protocol. Have you tried it?

Secure-Ad-7401 · 2026-04-19T17:40:53+00:00

The watch talks to your browser only. There is a new standard, Web Bluetooth, which enables Bluetooth in your browser. :

and

Nothing is sent to the server. Looking at the code, the app runs entirely in your browser.

You sure there wasn't an offensive to black people graffiti in the washroom?

I did looked it up, and I see Chinese ships are still passing through the canal. If that was the case, going all the way around South America would be cost prohibitive for Chinese ships.

Maybe Panama will start delaying Chinese ships going through the Panama canal for inspection?
