I had to stop wearing my pebble 2 hr when the software became too flaky to tolerate. Notifications would just randomly Go through or not, media controls would sometimes not work, and so on. But can't wait to go back, as my alternatives are all fundamentally flawed.
I asked my partner if she wanted a new pebble, she has a nice little Garmin, her response:
Funny how she lost her last one:
Her strap broke on the pebble time, my (at the time) 15 month old saw it on the bench, and asked why she wasn't wearing it. She said it is broken, a few days later she was going to get a new strap and the watch was gone. The 15 month old, had thrown it in the bin.....rubbish day had already happened.
I'm just using gadget bridge now, most of the original functionality is gone. I can't be arsed jumping through the hoops to install the original pebble app on my phone.
I had no issue getting the app on my phone, but it wasn't really working anymore. I'd also have to swap the battery and reprint the buttons again. I'm just waiting for the new pebble now, it's only a few months now.
