I haven't moved on. Pebble Time Steel was the best watch I've ever had. I've been using Fitbit since the death of Pebble and they never got as good as Pebble was. If Repebble hadn't shown up, I'd probably be going Garmin after the inevitable death of Fitbit. But now that the choice is between Garmin and a hackable open source Pebble with 30 days of battery life... Repebble wins for me. ☺️

Fitbit was pretty bad. My wife had it and after the 3rd rma she just didn't bother anymore.

I have a PineTime now and she basically claimed it as her own so I'm back to wearing analog watches.

Oh I love my PineTime. I bought mine two years ago but it never played nice with Gadgetbridge, so it lived in a drawer until last month, when I saw someone had been using theirs pretty regularly with Gadgetbridge. I asked about it and mentioned my difficulties, they said that both had been significantly updated since then. Now here we are. It's a great watch.

I'm being horribly pedantic here but analog is just the display, you can have a highly computerized analog watch, or a purely mechanical digital watch!

out of curiosity what's your favorite analog watch (by anyone's definition) you own?

I only have a Rodania and a Hugo Boss watch. Nothing special.
