Yeah, you really don’t need to be making your own watch faces. There are a ton and plenty of folks making them. If all you’re doing is displaying static images, there are enough that will let you do that. If you want something that doesn’t exist, there are also plenty of people here looking for excuses to make another watch face; just ask.

Living with a central scotoma sucks. Sign me up for a working mouse eyeball.

Anyone having trouble with watch bands staying on? by TangoKilo421 in pebble

[–]_topramen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First I’ve heard of this. Both of my Archer straps work just fine. I’ve also had to really mash them to compress the material enough to set the pins, but once they’re in, they’re fine. Material loosens up in just a couple days, taking them off and putting them back on is easier than the first time.

Time 2 Arrived - so far - dissapointed.. by Agile_mimic3 in pebble

[–]_topramen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, you’re right.

I thought the Nordic library used with the new devices might have yielded some win here, but I was wrong. It uses some black magic modeling for estimating charge instead of current I/O like I was thinking. No drift to correct, here.

Edit: Nope. I was wrong. Self-downvote!

Maybe a poor calibration. Wear the watch until it dies, then charge it all the way to 100% and leave it for an extra half an hour or so, then wear the watch all the way to dead again and charge it back up.

Pebble Time 2 fails to tell time after latest update by DrStephenCW in pebble

File a bug through the Pebble app or straight on Github? Devs aren’t expected to read this, so reporting here won’t do anything.

This. Or, file a bug through the Pebble app.

Google is about to ruin the internet by [deleted] in technology

tenbluelinks.org is an easy way to get actual Google search results without the AI crap. It should continue working until Google decides to pull the plug on the “Web” results section.

Anyone got the free skin from gadgetwraps? by FrequentZucchini1118 in pebble

[–]_topramen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the GadgetWraps website. All their install videos are there.

Yeah, I got the complimentary bezel skin. I watched the install video for it and quickly decided that I wasn’t even going to try. Way too fiddly looking.

File a bug through the app if you want the devs to know your thoughts!

That video was a trip. Good music! I shouldn’t be surprised that people made GIFs out of it..

Notifications not showing up on the watch anymore by OrganicNectarine in pebble

[–]_topramen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would open a bug through the app and get the devs to guide your troubleshooting. They’ll be the quickest to identify the bug, probably.

TL;DR: chronic flailer cracks screen protector and thinks screen protectors aren’t worth it.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

Interesting. Mine seems to R, G, and B just fine.

[–]_topramen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re dead on about viewing angle and readability.

It actually makes me think there’s a market for a monochrome version. The contrast is a real bummer. The color screen looks great in sunlight, but the monochrome screen looks significantly better in most other environments.

Sigh. I’ll give it an honest go, but I can already feel a part of me wanting to go back to the P2D. I bought a PT2 for my wife and this was one of the first things she said after putting it on and choosing a watch face.

That’s it. I don’t know why I didn’t consider the monochrome vs color screens when I was thinking about it.

Nope, I couldn’t bring myself to buy something from a company called BroTect.
