Started as a one-man show more than four years ago, the AsteroidOS open wearable platform is now considered stable and ready for deployment on production smartwatches with the 1.0 release announced today, thanks to the hard work from more than 100 contributions from all over the world. Being the first stable release of the open-source operating system for smartwatches, AsteroidOS 1.0 comes with a set of default apps for general use, including an agenda, an alarm clock, a calculator, a timer, a stopwatch, a music remote control app, a weather forecast app, as well as phone notifications and settings customizations.
