    I might seriously grab one of these to replace my Fitbit. I just want something simple to display notifications and let me monitor my heart rate and this looks to be right up my alley. Plus that battery life dwarfs anything else on the market, even if the one with the HR only gets a few weeks, that’ll crush anything available.

    Plus it’s open source? Let’s goooo.

    Huge fan of the original Pebble. But really appreciate the team here is being upfront about how the Apple walled garden BS is limiting functionality of how this new Pebble would work with iOS now. Not pulling any punches in how much Apple hamstrings outside interoperability.

    Man, i loved my old Pebble. It’s amazing they never made any wearable as good.

    But I’m not going to buy a new piece of consumer tech while I’m researching how to destroy fascism from the bottom up.

    Yeeha, that’s fucking awesome! :⁠-⁠D

    The Core Time 2 looks really nice
    Although I’m wondering, why only the cheaper one has a Barometer.
    That’s something I’d actually like to have - as well :⁠-⁠\
