If you can find a Pebble, they still work perfectly and the manufacturer doesn't even exist anymore!
Hmm, fitbit bought most of the company, then Google bought them.
Shit! You just reminded me I have a Pebble Time, sitting in a drawer. I remember it being such a good watch, then I got distracted by the Samsung watch at the time.
Might see if there's any life in it and test it out with GadgetBridge.
Rebble was easier to get working than gadget bridge. just something to consider
Thanks for that. Came across Rebble while searching for answers to problems getting the Pebble working with GB earlier today, so definitely looks like it's worth a go.
no problem! that's what the internet and forums are for :D
Just following up - Rebble is fantastic! Have revived the Pebble Time - will see how the battery goes over the next week or so. Thanks again for the tip!
Hey, you go it!
FYI, you can financially support Rebble and get perks like being able to reply with voice to messages. I don't personally do so but I know people who have had success with it.
For comparison, my Pebble with everything turned off (like health tracking, apps, steps, alarms etc) and only BT on for notifications, I get about a week still
I do! My yearly subscription actually just renewed yesterday!
I take you are a satisfied user. Ages ago when I looked into it, I didn't see the need. To save time for me and other people on this thread, what value does it bring to you? I would consider subscribing just to financially support them but what other tangible use does a subscription bring?
The main thing I use it for is the ability to reply to texts by voice while I'm driving. I probably don't use that feature enough to justify the cost, but a large part of the reason I do it is to support Rebble. The features are almost a side benefit lol
Gotcha, thanks. Well, I'll look into it some more. I appreciate you supporting Rebble!
