Sad, but I guess somewhat understandable given the R&D competitors are putting in.
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.
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.
So you have to turn it on manually? Or does it react to movement?
My first smartwatch was a fossil and it almost made me give up on smart watches entirely. It was pretty nice for the first 6 or so months but the battery deteriorated quickly and it only lasted like half the day. I didn’t even last a whole year before I gave up on it and just assumed Android smartwatches were kinda trash.
I actually got the free pixel watch 2 promo deal for preordering the pixel 8 pro thinking I could just sell it, but I decided to give it a shot and I actually really like it.
Psst… if you havent already, install GrapheneOS!
Totally would if I didn’t have to have a work profile and my bootloader was unlocked.
How does a work profile work… regularily? I only use it through shelter.
You need an invasive app that can completely control it, right?
Its still so much better than ios. Thanks Google for compartimentalization
