Comment on After wearing the Pebble Time 2 for two weeks, I'll never buy another smartwatch

Comments

I think the battery life of a smart watch cannopt be underestimated. I have all the old pebbles which I love darely but then I got a Amazfit Bip and I stayed with it until today. One month (!) of battery time with a HR sensor and notifications is all I need so why ever change.

I dont know why apple, samsung and google are not getting it. But I would not even touch one of their products with a 2 feet long pole.

Just my experience and 2 ct.

And one thing: Pebble2 is really really nice, but 200 euro? The Amazfit Bip is (was) 40 euros. Why the price difference?

I dont know why apple, samsung and google are not getting it.

I know nothing about smart watches other than the fact that the Pebble company failed and that I see Fitbit/Apple Watch everywhere. I’m not convinced that Apple/Google don’t get it.

Echoing a sibling: yes, apple seems to "get it" just fine.

In 2021, analysts estimated there were 100 million units in use.[1]
