Promising specs! I'd rather have multi-day battery life than fancy graphics, maybe even an e-ink display.
Same here. Not only does it save battery life; it ensures the display is always on and looks way better. The Pebble Time had a Sharp Memory LCD, I'm not sure what the Amazfit Bip uses. It's baffling that there are so few electronics in general that use E-Paper/translective displays. Does anyone know?

Me too. It says "All-week 180 mAh battery" which I'm not sure what it means but I doubt a 180 mAh lasts an entire week.
These might be nitpicks but just because it's open source doesn't excuse it from poor design critique.
Tech wise looks really good for the price.

Is it just me or is the screen not vertically centered on this device? Also the wake up button is on the left instead of the right, probably gets woken up a lot by hitting the sleeve of a coat or buttoned shirt...

It's a 3D render. The actual display seems to be more or less centered[0].

One could presumably flip the device and the rotate the screen rendering by 180 degrees. This is how Apple Watch handles right wrist use.

Good call on the screen rotation, is this something any of the OSes support or needs to be requested to be added in?
Interesting. Shame there’s no GPS, though. As a cyclist I’d love a hackable GPS device that isn’t a (fragile, bulky) smartphone.
