Why We’re Bringing Pebble Back

Eight years later, you still can’t beat a Pebble

I know this isn’t Android per se. But Google has now opened up Pebble OS. And it seems like there will be a pebble revival. I just want a pebble time round 2.

      Nowhere in that blog post does he announce he’s making it.

      He just asks for interest so that he can explore whether it’s feasible to attempt manufacturing of it. He explicitly states there that he’d need a lot of help to even attempt to make it a reality.

      Very different from claiming he is making it and that it’s a real product.

    Wow, this is awesome!

    I don’t want much in a smart watch, really just notifications and some nominal ability to interact with them (snooze/dismiss reminders, pause/skip what’s playing, etc).

    An ePaper screen fits my use-case just fine. Easily readable in most situations, and crazy low power draw.

    I’d be down for a smart watch with like a week of battery life, with a backlight on lift, and I guess NFC for paying.

    I know I won’t get that combo, but I can dream.

      "I hear you, and I get what your saying. If I understand you correctly, what you really need is AI in a watch! Dont even need NFC, the AI will do the Payments for you! Its gonna be amazing. And if the AI is good enough, we can just drop the screen entirely!! How cool will that be!! I got our best engineers on it, releasing next quarter, $599. Pro version packs a vape at $799. Single use battery as well, save you needing to charge it!! "

      Turned your dream into a nightmare, you’re welcome :)

      Garmin Fenix 7. Non-OLED model. I get about 17 days. Granted, there may be cheaper options, but since the 7 is discontinued now you can find good deals.
