I have a galaxy watch 5 but even 3 days of batteryife is irritating enough I'm looking longingly at the Garmin's. Really don't need a lot of the fluff they come with
I also have a Watchy. The thing is in no way a consumer device but it lasts over a week and the eink display is great. Reminds me of what we lost when pebble went away..
I have the Fenix 7 sapphire solar and it's a perfect trooper. 3 weeks or so in normal mode. And you can use it everywhere. Beach and sea, physical labor, swimming pool, gardening.
Is it possible to buy the Watchy anywhere anymore? The officially linked site says stock of 0.
Pi hut has some.. https://thepihut.com/collections/sqfmi
Depends which country you're in I guess..
They don’t have any stock either. I wonder if it’s just not enough interest or too much.
How do you like yours? Wear it daily?
On and off.. it's more just a fun thing to program and make better.. the default software is pretty basic.. essentially it's an esp32 with an eink display bolted onto it.
It isn't remotely water resistant - a light rainshower would write it off.
I've got a pinetime coming as well which is much more something that could be used as a daily driver whilst still being hackable.
interesting on the pinetime. I'll have a look at that, thank you.
