For anyone looking for a similar device in the interim (long battery, open source) the PineTime is a great device.

This is neat but the selling point for me with the Pebble is the e-ink display. If repebble fails though, my next watch will be a Pine. Hopefully my Versa 2 holds on for a bit longer ๐Ÿคž

it's an "e-paper" display, which annoyingly is nothing like an e-ink display. it's an LCD with a memory chip in it. the bangle.js also has one, which can do eight colors. so better than the black and white one, but worse than the 64-color one. also it's half the price of the cheaper pebble...

You should just get one anyway. It's $30.

Got a PineTime for Christmas and so far been very pleased with it. I found the PineTimeStyle watchface and it's been a bit like coming home to Pebble, but I do miss the wide array of watchface choices and effortless customization.

I missed out on the 1st gen pebble but had a buddy who loved his. Y'all may be talking me in to checking this new one out.

And agreed on the pine faces. I've been of half a mind to learn how to make them so I could have more variety.
