I ended up getting a Fenix 6s about a year and a half ago and I think it's about as close to a Pebble successor as things get these days. I get a comfortable week out of the battery, and a responsive e-ink screen with the basics covered plus a few more fitness related things (and a party trick of topo maps) the Pebble didn't have. I don't feel like it has quite the community support that Pebble had in terms of software (or the enabling thereof from Garmin), so it's not 100% the same but it's been working well for me so far.
That looks nice, but dear god is is expensive
Unfortunately yes. They do put some models on sale occasionally so if you want one it can be worth waiting - I got mine at close on half RRP which made the cost somewhat more palatable.
Same here, Fenix 6 for a couple of years and definitely nearly as good as pebble, but I still miss the comfort and size of pebble. The screen is a bit better I think though and the battery seems to last me more but I barely use any of the fancy useless stuff like gps and what not.
I doubt the community that pebble built can be replicated by any other company... I really miss how simple it was to start creating software for the pebble and talking with other devs.
