13 years ago?! Where does the time go.
Unfortunately my original Pebble band deteriorated, but I did charge up my Pebble Time and it seemed to be working, will give it a sync for old times (pun) sake.
I have a Pebble 2 Duo in route, I wasn’t much of a programmer 13 years ago so looking forward to doing some development on it (in C no less!).
Been using it for a month with my pebble time. No health features yet but everything else more or less works. The underlying library that actually handles the comms with the pebble is open source so it's easy to add new features and fix bugs yourself.
I bought Pebble time many years ago, it arrived with the front panel gaping open, it wasn't properly attached to the watch body. I emailed them about this and it took weeks for them to reply... giving me a boilerplate answer. I had to spam as many people in the company as I could including the CEO, to get a replacement.
Not impressed to see the official Pebble app and app store be closed source once again. Looks like Pebble is taking the Google Play route by making it inconvenient to use the underlying open source software without a proprietary service.

Never again.

On Android, should I give a try to GadgetBridge, which seems both more open but way less official, instead of the Pebble app?
And by the way, why not make the Pebble app open source? I don't see any compelling reason.
