The Bangle.js 2 is pretty cool
That's what I use. It's way more stripped down than a modern smart watch, but it has good battery life, a transflexive LCD, can discretely give me notifications so I can keep my phone on silent, and can show me the weather at a glance.
There are more things it can do, I just find my phone is better for the majority of them.
That covers all my smart watch use cases tho.
Does it support an external Bluetooth HR monitor?
Apparently, an app does that
Are the notifications actionable? (Snoozing alarms, canned replies to messages, etc)
I couldn't find that important detail on the website easily.
You can snooze alarms, play/pause/ff/rw media, and mark messages as read
what do you mean by "good battery life"?
Disclaimer I don’t have one, but seems like 2-4 weeks between charges.
That's been my experience
LMGTFM (Me). Oh its easy to read (almost) regardless of light conditions. I too like my notification to be separated and discreetly delivered.
Sorry 8), thanks for the heads up. I'm filling in shipping info now.
So frustrating that their logo is a nice looking round watch, but their product is an ugly rectangular one.
The original one was round.
That looks like the closest successor to the pebble I think I've ever seen.
I may need to order one and test it out.
And priced for the average human! Wow.
Damn, if I didn't need the fitness tracking support of my Garmin watch, I'd be all over that!
Same here. Looks really cool, but I use a lot of sport features of my Garmin watch.
I think I've just found my next watch. It looks more useful than my current Fitbit Versa. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
