I have tried Fossil. Skagen, Galaxy 4 and 6, Ticwatches, Oneplus, Amazfit watches. The ticwatches I tried had terrible vibration. I recently was surprised and found the galaxy 5 and the Galaxy 5 pro watches and they both have great vibrations. The 5 pro is thicker and its vibration is the best I have felt in years. Reminds me of the Pebble time and time steel which had a similar vibration. I would also like to point out the Galaxy watch 5 is 44 and the 5 Pro 45mm. The 40mm usually have less vibration strength.
r/WearOS • Want to get the strongest vibrating fitness tracker / smartwatch as a silent alarm ->I used an instinct 2 solar for some time. Loved the battery life but really disliked the OS. Switched back to my Pebble time steel and have a Pebble time 2 on order.
r/gadgets • Google Pixel Watch 4 Review: Easily the Best Android Smartwatch of 2025 ->I’ve never looked beyond pebble for fitness & sleep information. Like the post workout notification that gives me the full rundown of the stats. I love the fact that I never have to start or end a workout, the pebble just knows. I’m using a ten year old Pebble Time.
r/pebble • Best health/exercise tracker that's Open Source? ->"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/PixelWatch • Internal Information from Google Team regarding Google Pixel Watch 4. ->Although im wearing my Pebble Time for years now and just today received the new Android app , Fitness tracking was never its strong point and is not suitable. Great watch tho
r/pebble • The Gap in the Fitness Tracker Market in 2025 -- Pebble’s Potential: ->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/Garmin • What are the real advantages of Garmin over Apple Watch ->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/pebble • The Gap in the Fitness Tracker Market in 2025 -- Pebble’s Potential: ->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/gadgets • The Google Pixel Watch 4 is the Android watch to beat ->I just bought the open source Pebble watch hoping that it might be my solution
r/degoogle • Non-Google fitness trackers? ->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
r/AppleWatch • Weekly Buying/trading/selling advice, pre-orders and shipping Megathread ->Yes the Amazfit ones are good. Pebble was the best smartwatch ever, supposedly it may be coming back. But RIP
r/Frugal • Has anybody here bought a cheap smart watch before? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
