The Pebble Smartwatch is (maybe) coming back!!!
And the OS has been Open Sourced!!
For those that don't know the Pebble, it was one of the first smartwatches.
Some things about it where there has been NO SUITABLE REPLACEMENT FOR IN ALMOST 10 YEARS (that have more than 3 of these):
- an e-paper display
- a Battery that lasts more than 3 days.
- simple (I don't need 1000 features I don't use but make the watch expensive and cost battery life. I only need telling time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleep/step tracking. Thats it)
- hackable (you can't even create watchfaces on the apple watch, and for the google pixel watch you need the whole Android SDK and basically have to make an android app) the pebble had thousends of user created watchfaces on its store.
- freaking physical buttons. I loved to control my music from my wrist without having to look.
I've got myself a google pixel watch a few months ago and I hate not beeing able to control music blindly and having to charge it every 1-3 days. The only good thing is, that I can use Google Pay from it and control some HomeAssistant stuff.
