We're bringing Pebble back!

Gotcha. Yeah that’s a different game.

I do not trust this. I want it to be true, but I feel like even as a FOSS OS. Maybe I'm an idiot (not maybe) but I had the rug pulled from under me once already,

I got a Tamagotchi when they were new and it was annoying as fuck, so I stopped playing with it after two days and enjoyed looking at the floating ghost.

Lol, that's actually genius, maybe I'll try it with a card I don't use much.

My kid has an Apple Watch but because you can’t play a game on it he often leaves it charging by his bed. He’s also responsible and sets alarms for his chores which means I’m often the only one around when they go off. Sometimes I think about turning it off and hiding it.

Google rugpulls shit way too often for me to take the risk.

Raspberry pi Pebble when?

I've been eyeing Amazfit's watches hard, ever since I saw a coworker with one. Wasn't interested in smartwatches before due to all the compromises each one makes but their watches seem like they're actually good from what I can tell.

The newer watches can last up to 2 days I think at least my Samsung ones did I would assume apple is about par

I wonder if there's any ESP32 boards that would work well for this. I know there's a mesh-tastic capable watch that's got to be super programmable.

[foggenbooty@lemmy.world]

OK, so I followed up on this idea and I'm not sure how viable it is. The chip is very small, but the antenna is quite often traced quite far across the card. The layout depends on the card, but might be more of a pain than it's worth.

Dang. I guess I'll keep my current method for now. Thanks for the update!

@CancerMancer @prof_wafflez +1 for #Amazfit I'd certainly have another quote happily. Killed my last one (totally user error).
But I've now realised I never use many of a smartwatch's features so I've gone for one that just does notifications and step count
