I have a galaxy watch 5 but even 3 days of batteryife is irritating enough I’m looking longingly at the Garmin’s. Really don’t need a lot of the fluff they come with
I also have a Watchy. The thing is in no way a consumer device but it lasts over a week and the eink display is great. Reminds me of what we lost when pebble went away…
I have the Fenix 7 sapphire solar and it’s a perfect trooper. 3 weeks or so in normal mode. And you can use it everywhere. Beach and sea, physical labor, swimming pool, gardening.
On and off… it’s more just a fun thing to program and make better… the default software is pretty basic… essentially it’s an esp32 with an eink display bolted onto it.
It isn’t remotely water resistant - a light rainshower would write it off.
I’ve got a pinetime coming as well which is much more something that could be used as a daily driver whilst still being hackable.

Is it possible to buy the Watchy anywhere anymore? The officially linked site says stock of 0.
I got mine from pi hut… https://thepihut.com/collections/sqfmi
Depends which country you’re in I guess… the resellers seem to get them more often
They don’t have any stock either. I wonder if it’s just not enough interest or too much.
How do you like yours? Wear it daily?

interesting on the pinetime. I’ll have a look at that, thank you.
