I know this isn’t Android per se. But Google has now opened up Pebble OS. And it seems like there will be a pebble revival. I just want a pebble time round 2.

o fucking please! My Pebble Steel is really showing its age.
Long battery life (one less thing to charge. It’s annoying to need extra cables when traveling)
I can charge my Samsung watch with my Samsung phone while charging my phone with single cable. I still would want longer battery life, but extra cable isn’t the issue for me.

Yeah about that…
If I remember correctly, Samsung has removed that functionality on the new watches and phones.

At least I got that on my Fold 6 and Watch4 Classic working perfectly 🤔
And seems like S25 also has Wireless PowerShare
Yeah with the watch 7 they removed it from the phone. Just like how Samsung removed Bluetooth from the s25 ultra s pen.
Just like you’re bringing small phones back?

I was hoping so bad that it would come but it never came… we need a proper open source smartphone but there is so many variables in it sadly. Though with the recent developments in mobile linux and using a translation layer for android apps maybe something is possible. The problem is something being open source isnt enough to penetrate the tech space, it has to be better than the alternatives, which with phones means it has to either be ridiculously powerfull or extremely cheap, which are both hard to achive in such a saturated space. Even linux is only popular because it is actually better than the alternatives.

That blog post explicitly said he didn’t want to make it himself!
oooo that’s cool.
I hope the companion app will be open source, or the watch will be compatible with Gadgetbridge
looks like the os is open source, and they made a developpement companion app that’s also open source. So even if their companion app is proprietary it doesn’t seem like it’d be too hard to add gadgetbridge compatibility
Let’s fucking go
I’d be down for a smart watch with like a week of battery life, with a backlight on lift, and I guess NFC for paying.
I know I won’t get that combo, but I can dream.
You won’t get that combo in the west. Xiaomi fitness bands have support for NFC payment in China but not in the western market.
Garmins do.
The Xiaomi bands are 50 bucks. The cheapest Garmin watch on their site that supports pay is 250 bucks.
other than the NFC the PineTime can do this
"I hear you, and I get what your saying. If I understand you correctly, what you really need is AI in a watch! Dont even need NFC, the AI will do the Payments for you! Its gonna be amazing. And if the AI is good enough, we can just drop the screen entirely!! How cool will that be!! I got our best engineers on it, releasing next quarter, $599. Pro version packs a vape at $799. Single use battery as well, save you needing to charge it!! "
Turned your dream into a nightmare, you’re welcome :)
Garmin Fenix 7. Non-OLED model. I get about 17 days. Granted, there may be cheaper options, but since the 7 is discontinued now you can find good deals.
Wow, this is awesome!
I don’t want much in a smart watch, really just notifications and some nominal ability to interact with them (snooze/dismiss reminders, pause/skip what’s playing, etc).
An ePaper screen fits my use-case just fine. Easily readable in most situations, and crazy low power draw.
You got banglejs too
