Damn. Big fan of their hybrid smart watches (e-ink screen, ~10 day battery and looked like a watch).
Anyone know of any good similar products?
I don't know of any e-ink displays outside of Fossil but give Garmin a try. I use the Vivoactive 4 and get a week+ of battery.
I went from Pebble > Fossil > Garmin.
Garmin are atrocious compared to hybrid watches or the legendary pebble. Had one for like a week before I sent it back, there was so much wrong with it.
My Hybrid's screen died under 9 months of use. The e-ink screen started to fade. Not sure if it was from sun light or maybe knocked around.
I haven't had the Garmin for as long yet but it's nice enough to use outdoors.
