"Longer battery life" Man, I wish they could get at least 3 days. I'm on 5+ days on my pebble 2 HR years later, and my pebble time 2 coming in december it projected to get 30 days!

r/pebbleThoughts on new moto watch vs pebble?

This can't be your killer feature. I will always take weight, battery life, ease of use, large amount of customization (due to community) and always-on-display above something like NFC. We can't tell the future, but my Pebble Time Rounds and Pebble 2s are still (after a battery swap) working today. Moto or any other Android smartwatch will have less easy repairability and when they want to make it obsolete so you buy the new thing, they just pull the plug. If NFC is so important, why not check out the Garmin watches? Or other devices?

r/pebbleIt finally happened... My Pebble Time Steel has passed away. Help me justify a PT2?
2 months ago

need convincing? seriously? how is that even a question. since the pt2 was revealed I can't look at the steel without gagging at the size of the bezel. that's why I resorted to my pebble 2 hr. if you go with the PT2, your upgrades are: almost 4x the battery life.  bigger, better screen with touch functions. screws on back so easier to repair. heart rate sensor. better water resistance. borameter. mic AND speaker (allowing phone calls and assistant support) and the fact that it's something you're already used to, and there's only going to be new features that improve the whole experience. something that I never thought I would see again.

r/GarminWhat are the real advantages of Garmin over Apple Watch
10 months ago

Physical buttons are the thing for me. I came from a Pebble that had no touchscreen - everything was done through the buttons. I just like buttons. I can control the watch when it's under my jacket or shirt sleeve, in the water, or even at night without having to look at it. Touchscreens are great, but I don't want to give up my buttons.

r/pebbleThe Gap in the Fitness Tracker Market in 2025 -- Pebble’s Potential:
6 months ago

For me it went downhill for Pebble as soon as they went down the fitness tracking route. I for one do not care the slightest about the amount of steps I‘ve taken and all that stuff and always deactivate as much of it as I can. I loved the Pebble for everything else though because it gives me everything I want from a smartwatch: - Time - Push notifications - Vibration alarm That‘s it! The only thing missing for me is paying with it but that‘s not in the cards anyway.

r/gadgetsThe Google Pixel Watch 4 is the Android watch to beat

Pebble is back! Baffling to me that every smart watch company insists on ultra high def led displays that eat so much power that the battery only lasts a day or two even with always-on disabled, and are hard to see in sunlight. It's a watch, I don't need the ability to watch Harry Potter in 8k HDR.

r/pebbleThoughts on new moto watch vs pebble?

I have owned watches with AMOLED displays similar to the Moto watch. I will never buy another watch with an emissive type of display again. Reflective displays like those in Pebbles are vastly superior in my opinion. For that reason alone I would choose Pebble without even considering the other advantages like the great OS on Pebbles.

I figure the pebble will essentially have lifetime support, 3rd party or otherwise, being open source. I ordered mine yesterday. Not shipping till April is only bummer:/

Heyo, I’m considering both the Pebble Time 2 and SE 3. I mainly have experience with the Pebble. I wore a Pebble through High School. Now that I can wear it again, I am wearing it. During the break when Pebble was defunct, I used an Apple Watch S3 and then S6. I didn’t mind it but wish it had better battery life. I am assuming there are apps I can get to make it more ADHD friendly and less distracting (not be like an iPhone blasted on my wrist.) I’m at a point where I can get an SE 3 or a Pebble Time 2. I am looking for pros and cons of the AW/ advantages over the Pebble, real life battery results, etc. any help is appreciated. Worth noting I have the Pebble Time 2 preordered but can get my money back at any time. TIA
