I loved my PebbleSteel but the build quality just wasn’t there. Had two go bad after a very short time with button issues. When Pebble got sold i begrudgingly moved to an Apple Watch and have been ok with it. I do wish Apple offered an E-ink display tho. I’d gladly trade display colors and screen resolution for a multi-day battery and lower prices.

I’m all in on the Apple ecosystem but won’t get an Apple Watch for that reason. Besides the fact that I already get distracted enough, I can’t bear to have a wearable that won’t make it 24 hours without a charge. Resistance to that level of obligation is the same reason I never bought a Tamagotchi.

I got a Tamagotchi when they were new and it was annoying as fuck, so I stopped playing with it after two days and enjoyed looking at the floating ghost.

My kid has an Apple Watch but because you can’t play a game on it he often leaves it charging by his bed. He’s also responsible and sets alarms for his chores which means I’m often the only one around when they go off. Sometimes I think about turning it off and hiding it.

The newer watches can last up to 2 days I think at least my Samsung ones did I would assume apple is about par
