I can't find the quote in the original post, so I don't know the context of that statement.

But generally, Garmins don't allow developing and installing 3rd-party apps on their watches

Sorry, I guess I was just reading about them, and went to the original blog post published on 2025-03-18 https://ericmigi.com/blog/introducing-two-new-pebbleos-watch...

I was able to develop apps for Garmin Fenix 3, which was released in 2015 https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/160512/#specs it already supported building apps for the watch. They also had a funny name for the language they built, something like "Gorilla language" or something similar.

EDIT: found it, they call it Monkey-C https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/monkey-c/

    Hah, I didn't know that. And I specifically looked for my pebble replacement, and contemplated over Garmin.

    I guess their marketing dept hasn't been doing their work so well.

    Thanks for sharing this
