      I had never heard of BangleJS before and wow, that thing is awesome!

      I’m neither a JS or Android/iOS developer, and this thing makes me want to try making a Fitbit-like fitness tracker and companion app.

      I might seriously get one. I’ve been on a privacy/declouding kick lately and have somewhat missed my smart watch. This thing looks like great fun.

        If it feels a little costly any, the PineTime’s also pretty good. Not remotely the same degree of plugin ecosystem due to being written in C but definitely serviceable and only $27.

        (not advocating over the BangleJS – as I haven’t owned one and it does look more featureful – but mostly mentioning as I don’t see a lot of people mention it, either)

        should be the same as pebble.

        It also uses an always-on transflective lcd display similar to pebble 2.

        after my pebble died, I have been exclusively buying smartwatches (amazfit etc) with these type of screen only.

        the display is slightly difference:

        features pebble time banglejs
        color 6 bit (64 color) 3 bit (8 color)
        resolution 144x168 176x176
        input method 4 buttons touchscreen + 1 button
