RIP again my Pebble
I'm still using my pebble. Works mostly fine still.
Mostly
Yes, and in that state it's still better than any other smart watch I've tried. By a lot, too. Which is honestly just sad, but here we are...
I bought a second PTS back in the day, and kept my original as a backup. I just recently had to switch back to it because the daily driver couldn't hold a charge anymore.
I tried looking for a replacement smart watch that could do the things I need it to do, and there's still not one on the market at any price point that can do
Not sure if you know, but there is an app called gadgetbridge, open source that can interface with many wearable devices including pebble. I use it with an amazfit bip and it works very well. You should give it a try.
That's fascinating software! Thanks for the share!
yes but until possible i like to have the working weather on my watchface and gadgetbridge is very opinionated against that as it could be used for user tracking, so any kind of internet access is blocked
GadgetBridge is not really against supporting online-only functions, it just can't be part of the main app. Weather Providers is what you're looking for.
if i understood right the weather app/watchface needs to be updated for being compatible with this - the official pebble app patched by rebble should work but i think my favorite watchface doesn't support it
Oh sorry, I understood your comment as saying that you couldn't get weather info with GadgetBridge because of its somewhat unique architecture. If you're using a different companion app then apps for GadgetBridge probably won't work.
Also I'm not familiar with Pebble, I'm just assuming it works similarly to other GadgetBridge-supported watches / bands like the Mi Band I use.
