      I wonder how hard it would be to open source something similar with something like an nrf52 or similar and a 3d printed enclosure I might have to look into this tbh

        Idk if Bangle.js is open source, but I imagine a e-ink display could be possible?

        Main problem will probably be battery life. At least if you want to do more than show the time on it.

        Iirc there’s a pine watch. Maybe it didn’t have e-ink

      I wish Eric had given us pebble v2 instead of beeper, honestly.

      I got into Pebble last year, hahah. I have four now because I’m a weirdo (two Times, a Time Steel and a Round). Thank goodness for Rebble!

        Hopefully you have better luck with the batteries than I did
