I have both versions of the Bangle. I absolutely love the software ecosystem and the apps are a lot of fun to program. On the down side, battery life is not great (4 days if you're lucky) and the step counter and heart rate detection algorithms in the open source firmware are not very accurate, which makes it a bit pointless for what I need. On the plus side, if you're up for the challenge, you can try to improve those algorithms yourself!
- Humpelstilzchen 3y agoPlease note that the current firmware switched to closed source hrm [1]. I charge weekly, after one week the battery is usually at ~50% with my usual usage. Obviously with GPS on the battery empties much faster, without any notifications etc the battery can hold multiple weeks.

- dariosalvi78 3y agoThis is great to know, thanks for the update. I will definitely look at the newest firmware then.
