Re: We're bringing Pebble back
#752I am excited about this but one of the main reasons for the success of the original Pebble was the accompanying software support. The web sites "Watchface Generator", "CloudPebble" and the "Canvas" Android app.
If they or equivalents don't return then I don't think this new Pebble will survive. The return of the Sparkly Code Princess would help enormously.
Re: We're bringing Pebble back
#753I've been meaning to sell my Pebble's but never got around to it. Don't know if anyone would even be interested in them as the screens on neither of them work. The first was the Kickstarter edition which was then replaced but the replacement eventually had the same issue. I loved the battery life on those things compared to my Apple Watch but I do prefer all the additional functionality that the Apple watch offers.

#754So people still use watch? I gave it up since I got my phone and I don't miss it yet

#755Earlier quoted context omitted.
What are you looking for in a smartwatch? Casio has smaller G-Shock smartwatches (not just the giant circular ones) that track your activity, heartrate, etc. But if you want smartphone notifications, then yeah, sadly you are out of luck. I am totally with you overall, though. I feel that if someone were to nail it, it would be Casio.
The GBD-200 I have can receive notifications.
Is it this one[0]? I saw it earlier, but I didn’t realize it could receive notifications, and the product page doesn’t mention it either.
Were you referring to that icon in the top left corner of the display that looks like it could be a notification counter? If yes, then that’s a fair point, but just being able to see the number of notifications is not the same as being able to see notifications (especially since it doesn’t seem like it would even tell you which app the notification is from, let alone what it was).
I would love to be corrected in case I am wrong, because it could be entirely possible that I am not even looking at the correct watch.

Re: We're bringing Pebble back
#756Thank you! I have 4 Pebblea that I refuse to part with because they do EXACTLY what I need. In the meantime I found Bangle.js Gadgetbridge and it paired with all of them and at least I have basic function again. My phone is the Samsung S22 Ultra.

#757In the meantime someone suggested Bangle.js Gadgetbridge for basic Pebble functionality and tonight I brought 4 back to life on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra!!!
I'm a very happy Pebblelite!
