I get a week of battery time out of my Fitbit Charge 5 with really good sleep tracking as well as reasonable tracking of exercise including swimming and GPS tracked runs. The screen is really nice but not always on e-paper and I can't really program it, so I guess there's some space to improve but was the pebble really that much better?
- drawkward 2y agoThe pebble battery life was >1 week, over a decade ago, so, yes?
- jetrink 2y agoDon't underestimate an always on display. It's very nice to be able glance down to see the time or other info without making an exaggerated gesture first. It was what I appreciated most after I switched from Fitbit. As to the Fitbit in particular, they just aren't well made anymore and have a habit of dying just out of warranty. My last one got stuck in a reboot loop 14 months after purchase. I tried everything with support from factory reset to letting the battery fully die, but nothing helped. Google told me to throw it out and buy another. My previous one had battery issues after 2.5 years, despite never letting it go below 20%. They are considered disposable devices now and aren't built to last.
- ilvez 2y agoI have to same issues with Fitbit. I'm thinking about switching soon when this one dies. Wondering whether Pebble would be for good for sleep tracking? Don't care about fancy exercise tracking, just steps, heart and sleep.
