I loved my PebbleSteel but the build quality just wasn’t there. Had two go bad after a very short time with button issues. When Pebble got sold i begrudgingly moved to an Apple Watch and have been ok with it. I do wish Apple offered an E-ink display tho. I’d gladly trade display colors and screen resolution for a multi-day battery and lower prices.
I’m all in on the Apple ecosystem but won’t get an Apple Watch for that reason. Besides the fact that I already get distracted enough, I can’t bear to have a wearable that won’t make it 24 hours without a charge. Resistance to that level of obligation is the same reason I never bought a Tamagotchi.
I got a Tamagotchi when they were new and it was annoying as fuck, so I stopped playing with it after two days and enjoyed looking at the floating ghost.
My kid has an Apple Watch but because you can’t play a game on it he often leaves it charging by his bed. He’s also responsible and sets alarms for his chores which means I’m often the only one around when they go off. Sometimes I think about turning it off and hiding it.
The newer watches can last up to 2 days I think at least my Samsung ones did I would assume apple is about par

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve been enjoying my Withings watches for fitness tracking and everyday wear as well. They look like a decent, non-smart watch. Battery lasts about a month or so.

Gotcha. Yeah that’s a different game.
Interesting to see if it will be better than Bangle JS 2, the spiritual successor to Pebble. That’s the one I’ve been using a few years and I still like it a lot.
Somehow I missed out on this device when searching for open watches, thanks for the info.
I ran my Pebble Time into the ground, so I’m hyped as fuck for this. I bought it in my early highschool years and wore it nearly daily until last year when the rumble motor finally gave out. Still wear it from time to time, but it not buzzing for notifications is a bit of a deal breaker for me.
I bought a replacement and it’s so pristine I didn’t want to risk slowly damaging it at work, but now I’m charging that bitch up and running it into the ground until new Pebble comes out. Thanks for sharing OP, this news made me week!
Bonus, here’s what mine looked like as of a few years ago right when the vibration went out. You can see I slapped a skin on it to cover up the bezel scratches, but the screen still looks totally fine!
I do not trust this. I want it to be true, but I feel like even as a FOSS OS… Maybe I’m an idiot (not maybe) but I had the rug pulled from under me once already,
Raspberry pi Pebble when?
