It's super cool and I love G Shock in general but the Casio app is straight up awful.

Have you tried this open-source app:

Thanks for sharing this! I'm also looking for an alternative to the official app, since having to log in with an account and accepting a privacy policy every time I want to change the time on my watch is pretty ridiculous – unfortunately I think this doesn't quite fit my use case as usually I'll want to sync the time when I go to a different country, and I'll normally only have my iPhone with me, which won't support WebBluetooth. But this tool might be a starting point to fork and build a capacitor app with that can run on the phone I suppose.

A web app i have to host on my own, use workaround apps to connect to it vs a clunky casio app that just works? I’ll go with clunky here

You make it sound like rocket science or huge bother.

If you're a hacker/dev/tech nerd, that's trivial. You do similar things twice before breakfast without thinking about it.

I mean... this is Hacker News. A lot of the audience would be excited about an self-hosted alternative.

Have you seen what vibe-coded slop it is? It's WILD.
