I miss Pebble. ePaper Display, week long battery life, and I can see all my phones notifications and reply to texts on the watch itself.
Made my old phone with bad battery life usable.
Garmin is the only "smart watch"/fitness tracker that does this and does it well. Wish it wasn't as pricy for the week long battery devices.
I still wear mine. Steel and 2hr. The OG finally went kaput sadly. Battery life on the 2 is great (its my backup), Steel is about 3 days usually
My time steel still easily hits a week with about 20% left
I've been looking for someone reputable to replace the battery. There used to be a guy on Spez's Folly, but he quit long ago...
My pinetime has a really similar feel to the pebble.
Same, Garmin has made me swear off from owning any modern smartwatches. I mean having to charge every other day is just nuts lmao
i personally don't find smart watches interesting or really that useful (to me). I tried out a samsung watch for a while and had fun making my own watch faces but that's about it. Charging it every few days was a pain. I ended up going back to my trusty Casio F-91W. Super thin, 8-10 year battery life, alarm and stopwatch built in. Not much more I need from a device on my wrist.
No smartwatch will appeal to me util it last a full week at LEAST.
This daily charging for a watch is insanity.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 8 and Huawei Band 8 are rather nice watches that do essentially the same thing as the very expensive smart watches for about $40 and they last about 2 weeks
PineTime lasts a whole week with the current firmware
They're just sharing their opinion on a public forum, keep it civil.
No need to be confrontational.
Didn't mean to get you so riled up, was just expressing an opinion. If you like your Garmin that's awesome I'm happy for you! Most of the cool features you talk about i can get from my smart phone so I don't need that in a watch, but it sounds like we live very different lives and what I need in a wrist watch is not what you need
Yeah, let's not attempt to paint any watch as a survivalist and hiking tool that needs regular charging, otherwise it stops.
Nobody survived in the wilderness before smart watches.
What car dealership do you work at?
I'm on lemm.ee, but okay.
Which one do you have?
I have the forerunner 965 and it's so much better than I thought it would be. Unless Garmin make some horrendous decisions I'll stick with their watches in future.
