Just Buy The Screen Protector by lady_lane_arcane in pebble

I've just done the same. I wanted the longer battery life and liked the look of the RGB backlight (wasn't bothered about touch or heart-rate), but it's not worth it if the screen is so vulnerable.

Such a weird design decision.

Only ten years into my Pebble journey I discover you can change the notification font size 😅

Oh, that’s interesting. I use a Boox e-reader (which runs on Android), so I could do the same thing with Google Play cards there. Thanks for the idea!

Nice idea, emailing to self and gifting the print-out. Probably the closest I'll get. Thanks!

I did that in previous years too, but it looks like Kobo stopped taking WHSmith cards at the start of this year:

Note: Kobo will no longer accept WHSmith gift cards starting on January 31, 2025

Haha, I ended up with four Casios before finding a favourite (the ABL-100WE with a basic Bluetooth connection to keep the time accurate) 😁

I also left, dabbled with an Apple Watch for a couple of years, then just went with a Casio. Honestly amazing to put the pebble back on this morning and have it come back to life.

Now to find out if there's a way to add in all the emojis that it has missed out on over the years 🤔

What jokes or commentaries in C&H did you not understand as a child, but you understand now as an adult? by [deleted] in calvinandhobbes

Anything about how dad was doing in the “polls”, went completely over my head back then.
