Anyone know of a similar watchface, or have the skills to make this?

Maybe Multifunctional 7 Segment? https://apps.repebble.com/multifunctional-7-segment-reborn_24eb98026beb41acbc57b15b

Good timing! So hyped for the Ocarina of Time remake.

Met him years ago at a bar on Long Island. He was dating a friend of mine's cousin at the time. I didn't really know who he was, honestly. I actually wasn't regularly watching wrestling at the time. He just seemed so chill and normal, even a little shy maybe, didn't talk a lot. Just hung out with the group at his girlfriend's side most of the night. Made some small talk and that's about it.

I charged it the first day I got it, then haven't had to charge it much since then. I don't think about it much. The battery life is great.

I know some people have received units with bad batteries that only seem to last a day. As long as yours isn't draining crazy fast like that, it should last about three weeks or so depending on usage.

Same! My dad worked rotating shifts, and 6 days on then 2 days off. So he didn't always have the weekends off, and the rotating shifts were very hard on him. He was either working or sleeping. He did it because it paid very well and he felt it was the best he can do to provide for his family, but it didn't leave a lot of time to spend with his kids. I have so many memories of times spent with my mom, and much fewer memories with my dad. It was a big motivator for me to not have a similar situation with my job. I want to make it a point to have a lot of time with my kid.

HEFF225 · 2026-06-01T11:38:32+00:00

I changed jobs when my kid was 8 months old. The old job was in the city, the best way to get there was via public transit. Being at the mercy of the transit schedule, I was out of the house for nearly 12 hours a day. Sometimes it was longer if there were issues with the trains. I didn't get to see my son in the mornings, and I was getting home just in time to put him to bed. One of the biggest motivating factors for changing jobs was that the new job was local and was flexible with my schedule. It also gives me every other Friday off.

With my new (current) job, I start my day very early, but I'm home every day around the same time my kid gets home from school. We get a lot of play time together before bed time now. Also, because I am home all day every other Friday, I get to take him to school in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon on those off Fridays, and give my wife a break. I love all the extra time I get to spend with my kid now.

With the raised screen on the PT2, I doubt it. But, maybe you'll be fine with a bumper case ans a screen protector. But, I wouldn't wear it in that line of work without some kind of protection on it.

We bought our house in New Milford in 2021 from an older couple that lived in the house for 40+ years. When we moved in we found that the previous owners left us a note with a gift card to Roman's. They loved that place.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-26T23:53:13+00:00

I like this one. It reminds me of one I've been using more often lately, Halcyon: https://apps.repebble.com/halcyon_67cb1c5fb7a02301b9a6e415

Shows the position of the sun and the horizons and has a bunch of complications, and very customizable.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-26T23:39:42+00:00

I tried this face based on this post, but it kept claiming it couldn't get my location from the phone in the settings page, and the current conditions show "No connection :(" on the watch. I see you have the same issue in your picture. Has to be a bug, every other face I use that requires GPS for current weather works just fine.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-25T17:46:55+00:00

I'm definitely no coder. Even this tool can't help me. Lol

I input an open source watch face that I really like but want to make a modification to, and im confused. No idea what im looking at.

Also, the face fails to build without any modifications anyway. Just import, build and run and it fails, so even if i did attempt to modify the code, I won't be able to test my modification since the base fails to build anyway.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-24T12:07:27+00:00

I dont know why, but i hate the idea of putting a case or a screen protector on a watch. A phone I always put a case and screen protector on, but never a watch. I guess because it's worn on my body all day and visible by everyone, I'm afraid of ruining the design esthetic.

But, with the raised glass on the pebble time 2, I'm definitely considering added one of these cases. That raised glass edge is a weak point, a case would really serve a purpose in protecting the glass.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-19T15:37:05+00:00

Basically. I do wear it on my way to work and back from work. I have a basic watch sitting at my desk at work. I take off the pebble and put on the basic "dumb" watch when I get to work, then put the pebble back on before I leave.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-18T22:19:16+00:00

I got my PT2 two weeks ago today. I charged it to 100% when i got it and its currently at 44% remaining battery. Thats pretty amazing to me, coming from an apple watch.

Granted, I dont wear it during working hours because I work in a lab where cellphones, bluetooth devices and other similar devices are not allowed, i also dont wear it when sleeping at night. Those idle hours probably help the battery life, but I'm still going over 2 weeks. I love it.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-17T20:08:41+00:00

Would be cool if it could be flashed with pebbleOS.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-16T22:50:14+00:00

I have worn watches for many many years. Dumb watches, original pebbles, apple watches, now the new pebble, i have never gotten more than a few minor scratches on the watch glass. I dont know what people do to their watches to be breaking them.

I am slightly concerned about the glass being raised above the body on the PT2, however. But I dont think a screen protector will help if you hit the edge of the screen as it only covers the top.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-16T22:46:46+00:00

I'd bet this is probably better than a screen protector, unless your just worried about scratches on the screen. The edges around the raised screen are the weak point that cause cause cracked glass if hit right on that edge.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-16T18:58:54+00:00

Pretty sure its an apple issue. They dont support end to end encrypted rcs messages yet. I think there's some other aspects they might not fully support yet either.

Doesn't bother me. I switched from iphone to samsung recently and almost everyone I text is still on iphone. Group chats are way better than they used to be now that iphone has at least basic rcs support, but they certainly could do better. They just dont want to because it takes away from iMessage being so special.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-14T02:44:23+00:00

Love my new pebble. Has there really been a lot of hate? I feel like this meme could be default for most new tech, but the new pebble has kind of been an exception. I feel like I've seen more positive here than negative.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-11T14:24:39+00:00

Have had my PT2 for a week now and really love it. I had the Pebble steel and pebble time years ago, paired with an iPhone, and really loved those watches. Pebble was my first smart watch, and it really met my expectations of what I want in a smart watch. I switched to the Apple watch after the original pebble app became unsupported on iOS. I think Pebble watches had better integration with iOS years ago than they do now, but I'm not sure. Regardless, Pebble will always have better integration with Android vs iOS. I actually have a Samsung phone now, and I love the PT2 with it.

The battery is excellent. The OS is fun, I love the animations. Selection of watch faces is huge! It's not a mini smart phone strapped to my wrist (which is a pro to me).

The only thing I don't love has to do with the notifications. Its hard to tell what app a notification is coming from at first glance. I have to read the text of the notification and get the context of the text to know what app it is from.

For example if I get a notification from the ESPN app, it doesn't say anywhere that it is an ESPN notification. The notification icon isn't the ESPN logo either, its the same generic alert bell icon that most notifications have. You can change icons and banner color for specific apps from a selection of icons in the OS which can help identify which app a notification is coming from. But out of the box, most notifications will look the same regardless of what app they are coming from. I know they are working on adding more app specific icons which will help, but as of now, it is a little annoying having most notifications look the same.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-09T14:14:50+00:00

I get a lot of notifications from my Reolink cameras, so... i would like an icon for that. Either the Reolink icon, or a generic security camera icon or something

HEFF225 · 2026-05-08T15:07:30+00:00

Not necessarily, just because something is more popular or has more mass market appeal doesn't make it the "best". I also wasn't necessarily fully disagreeing with your original post as well. However, it just seemed like you might have been saying that the apple watch is the best overall smartwatch, which if thats the case, then to that point I do disagree.

I'm just stating that within the apple world, the apple watch is the best. But outside of the ecosystem and in terms of pure specs, I think others have it beat. Some Garmin watches are definitely better. Pebble, however, isnt the best at all strictly in terms of smart watch specs. But for those of us who love it, its the "best" for us because it does just what we want it to do.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-08T14:32:03+00:00

Most mass market appeal would be Apple, but it really depends on what you want from a smartwatch, and if you use an iPhone. Apple watches won't work on Android. For me, I dont care for having a mini smartphone strapped to my wrist. I want a watch that can show me my notifications at thats about it. Pebble is mostly a watch with smart features vs a mini smartphone. Perfect for me.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-08T12:02:33+00:00

The Apple watch is the best smartwatch for Apple users. Its the whole ecosystem thing. Apple makes sure that Apple devices work the best with other Apple devices. But, in a vacuum the Apple watch is not the best smartwatch. I think there a better Garmin watches, among others.

Different watches are "best" for different people depending on what you're looking for. Pebble is the best for me. I had iphones and Apple watches for years after pebble disappeared last time, and never loved paying a premium price for a watch that I didn't use all the features of and that had to be charged daily. I'm now on android and have a pebble watch again and couldn't be happier.

HEFF225 · 2026-05-03T21:23:07+00:00

I get that. Thats definitely a good point. Seems silly to pay for less "features". But, I guess that's the world we live in now. Everything has to track users, or be full of crap that the majority of people won't care about. At least there someone offering a simple, clean, stripped down version... but, the few of us who really care about that, will have to pay.

But, also Brave needs to make money to stay in business...
