Tangentially related: I'm extremely very interested in working with something like this for people with Alexithymia and related phenomena. I have the tech skills but have the condition which makes development a bit difficult; email in profile.
I still use the Pebble as my main smartwatch. I tried out a ticwatch, but got tired of it pretty quickly. The Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel were really great devices, with a great balance of capability and battery life. The fact that it can easily last a day on a small fraction of the battery has often unexpected benefits too. Forgot to charge? np, just charge while doing something else for ~10 minutes and it wil…
I’ve had an Apple Watch for years but I very rarely use it for anything I couldn’t do with my Pebble Time Round all those years ago. Set timers, control music, check the weather… all possible with a device that was cheaper, had a longer lasting battery and looked better (subjective opinion of course). RIP Pebble. You were always doomed because you couldn’t have the kind of OS integration a first party device could, b…
But they were really slow to embrace fitness usage and a lot of people found them less attractive than the Fitbit.
You're making me miss my Pebble again. There was a project I was looking at a little bit ago of someone who made a Pebble replacement, but I can't recall the name right now.

So far, I've learned that the biggest benefit of mood tracking is the process of tracking: taking a moment to reflect on how you feel, name the emotion, and think about why you feel the way you do. The next big opportunity is to teach people effective strategies for dealing with their emotions in a healthy way (even if that just means accepting the emotion without judgement).
As an aside, I also loved my Pebble and physical buttons :D

I found a small bug in the analyze tab though. If you look at e.g. weekly and select a tab that is not the left most one, then scroll down, then tap the top of the display (the universal scroll to the top feature of iOS), the content disappears.
I love my Pebble Time watch, and for the first several years I used all the bells and whistles: the sleep tracking, the Bluetooth alerts, even the mini games (like Tetris) from the Pebble Store. But after about 6 years of ownership, I noticed that my battery could only hold a charge for 3-4 days, compared with 10-12 when I first got it. Then I realized that I wasn't regularly paying attention to the sleep tracking da…
One Time Steel is kaput (don't wear Pebbles on hot jacuzzis), am using the second and the others are in the drawer waiting for their turn.
I hope to have Pebbles for the rest of my life.
When Pebble went down I bought 4 Pebble Time Steel, 1 Pebble Time and 1 Pebble classic on eBay. One Time Steel is kaput (don't wear Pebbles on hot jacuzzis), am using the second and the others are in the drawer waiting for their turn. I hope to have Pebbles for the rest of my life.
