Why does every manufacturer fall for the IPS/OLED meme instead of using a transflective LCD (like what a calculator has)?? My Amazfit Bip gets 6 weeks on a single charge with the screen on 24/7
transflective LCD is like magic tho, the things are floating. Jokes aside is there a smartwatch that has this screen, but with actual pixels, so that it’s just as “smart”? I know thag amazfit can show you all the info, but having a mini-mini-pc is cool.
Whatever floats your boat ig. For me it’s 50% looks and 50% sleep tracking. I don’t think a wristband can track how much calories I burn, and sport tracking is basically a meme. But for checking if I get enough sleep, and a fashion piece. Yes, pls.
It does not track sleep as that would require too much info to be sent to a third party. The battery is insane on it as well I get 5 plus days on mine.
Not enough processing on the watch I think. You can look it up on the pinetime gethub (https://github.com/topics/pinetime) somewhere in the mess of projects it is mentioned.
u sold me if it has hearthrate and stuff (idk what tracks sleep)

I basically just want a smart watch to be an extension of my phone’s lockscreen:
Tell me the time, and tell me why my phone just buzzed, almost anything else is bloat that’s shaving literal weeks off of the battery life

Different market.
What does not work for you? Other then the one player pong sucking I have had the opposite experience.
That is a bold statement. I as someone who was considering purchasing one, could you elaborate?

Why would it require any info to be sent to a third party? My P32 tracks sleep and I keep it entirely offline.

Couldn’t it connect to a phone and have that do the math
They have not made a phone side app yet. That would be the third party I think.
How far the smart watch has fallen that 5 days of battery life is now “insane”, these things should last weeks
sobs in Pebble
Maybe they meant insanely short 🤔
