Previous Pebble (Classic v1 and 2) owner here. I was about to comment that it doesn't have e-ink and therefore would require multiple times a week charging but you mention it lasts a week (which the Pebble I mentioned also would target for; I don't accept less than a week). My Fossil HR Collider is fantastic with regards to battery life, and it only cost about 200 EUR. When I bought it I feared it'd remain too niche (it does not actually look my a smartwatch with the e-ink). Garmin are very well known in the sports sector.
- goosedragons 3y agoPebble doesn't have an eInk screen either. Garmin Fenix watches use Memory In Pixel displays like the Pebble. This is sometimes called an ePaper display which is where the confusion comes from I think. It doesn't work like eInk but a traditional LCD where each pixel has a bit of memory to allow it to not need to be constantly refreshed. The newer Fenix watches can get pretty insane battery life, especially the solar models, like a month+.
- Fnoord 3y agoI wasn't implying Pebble have e-ink. I had my Fossil HR Collider in mind. A month is impressive, but 600+ EUR for a WearOS device is too much for me (you pay with your privacy on anything Android/Google).
