Me over here still rocking my pebble time steel. I like that pebble opted to be an accessory and not just a little full featured phone on your wrist. A shame they are gone.

My first “smart watch” was a pebble and I still think it was the best. People want everything to do everything these days rather than pebble which did watch stuff well and for days without charging, while simply showing you phone notifications. It wasn’t complex, didn’t offer a ton of extras, but it just worked well.

Pebble tasker is nice too. Stuff like laundry timers and setting my home “went to bed” profiles, and a “where the fuck is my phone” task. Also a nice way to flip through apps in my van that does not have Android auto.

I picked up a Fossil Everett watch that is a hybrid between a physical watch and a smart watch. It has all the basics like message notifications, pedometer, heartbeat sensor, etc. The best part is the battery lasts well over 2 weeks between charges.

I really liked my pebble, haven’t bothered with another smartwatch since they went under. I don’t need an OLED watch with all the features of my phone that needs to be charged daily. I want a quick display that lets me use minimal phone features and needs to be charged only once a week.
