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.
Hi OP, I'm in the same boat as you. I even searched yesterday where the cancel preorder button is. I wore pebble Time almost majority of my life and now Galaxy Active 2 for about 3-4 years. I don't like my Galaxy (bulky, bad battery, useless fitness tracking that I don't need, bunch of options, always on display is crap); I did love my Pebble but I kind of feel Pebble is just old tech by now. The only major feature that I need is to answer a damn call on my wrist for 10-20 seconds and Pebble does not have it. My take is keep my preorder if I'm not happy at all with it I will sell it for like $200-180 and pick up an Amazfit or Garmin watch.
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.
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
Can you wait a bit? I know you asked to help justify a purchase, but the Pebble Time 2 should be releasing in a month or two. There would be reviews, and you could make an actual informed decision.
I ordered a Pebble Time 2, but a lot of the process makes me nervous, especially with such a ridiculously high price. You're getting an almost non-existent warranty, the prices are significantly higher, and nobody gets review samples first.
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.
