I've said it for years on Reddit and I will continue saying it here on lemmy. I miss Pebble.

I use a galaxy watch 4 now but while it can do some more thing it still doesn't fully match the functionality of my pebble time. So many stupid software limitations that shouldn't exist.

If the battery hadn't degraded I'd still be using it.

I've looked at fossil multiple times and they've never matched the functionality I need. No current watches really do.

PineTime, ~25$, is the spirit child of Peeble. Its OS InfiniTime is on github. And boy that battery, I can go way past 1 week, close to 2 weeks.

How are you getting multiple weeks? Mine barely lasts a few days.

[–] poke 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I have the always on screen turned off and the only way to turn it on is the button or when a notification comes in. My battery lasts almost a month.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That might be it- my screen is configured to turn on when tilted up, too. I'll try that out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you have to turn it on manually? Or does it react to movement?

[–] poke 1 points 10 months ago

It's an option to have it react to movement, but I have it off to save battery.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Holy hell, that's cheap. I'll have to look into grabbing one to play around with.
