Which, from your point of view, isn't a bad thing. It's no longer dependant on external servers, yet still enjoys a lot of support, is easy to code for, plus it's superb as smart watches go. Charging 3 times a month rather than every night means you can track your sleep with it effectively as well.
- johnchristopher 9y agoThe alta HR I bought this year and use for sleep tracking has 5 days of battery.
- zodPod 9y agoWhat is the battery life difference you mention? The lack of external servers or do you mean because it'll have linux on it now?
- dirtbox 9y agoIt lasts up to 10 days on one charge and the app has been decentralised, meaning it's not reliant on external servers.
- zodPod 9y agoAah ok you meant the pebble in general. I agree I loved how long the pebble lasted! I was hoping there was some upgrade that made it last even longer haha. I might have to do this though, attempt to install linux on it!
- Crespyl 9y agoI understood the comment to be referring to other fancier smartwatches that are designed around ~daily charging.
- zodPod 9y agoAaah, makes a lot of sense! Thank you for the clarification!
- TeMPOraL 9y agoIt is a bad thing, because electronics get old and eventually die. There isn't really any other company like Pebble on the market (Garmin is probably the only contender here), featuring quality hardware, e-Paper screens and a hacker-friendly ecosystem. So when your watch dies, you'll be forced to downgrade. (I'm a happy owner of Pebble Time, and I dread the day it lets out the magic smoke.)
- dirtbox 9y agoHah. You're not wrong about calling it a downgrade. Absolutely everything I've tried has been a downgrade from pebble. It's as if everyone is deliberately avoiding what was, for me at least, perfection.
