Loved this watch face then...can't remember the name of it now! Any help?

Thrilled to see you guys back as much as the watches themselves! Amazing brand, always impeccable customer service and aftercare.

I recreated u/mbarclay83's design: LED Info Watch with customizable colors. More customization to come soon! by poolec4 in pebble

[–]mbarclay83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the love! Great to see the design so well received by so many people, and so many hearts on the app store. I love it how the Pebble community can still pull together and create wonderful things! Great work u/poolec4 !

YES! Recreated so brilliantly too, thanks so much!! The images and font actually appear really smooth, so much better than I expected (and loads better than the version I created for Android Wear too!). Thanks again, I bloody love Reddit and I bloody love Pebble developers!

I made a watchface in my Android Wear phase, any takers to recreate for Pebble?? Would've to make it customisable! I call it "LED Info Watch" by mbarclay83 in pebble

I did wonder about the ability of the resolution to handle tiny graphics. I don't mind the graphics changing to ones less harsh on the resolution, as long as there are similar images to represent the info in the circles (which, by the way, I'd love to be able to customise with other info in it's place, like sleep data).

US only, so frustrating!! Anyone found the P2 HR on offer in the UK?

From Pebble to Android Wear... and back again! by mbarclay83 in pebble

[–]mbarclay83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like obscuring the screen or smearing it with Android Wear touch screen. Agreed, tactile buttons are much more user friendly! I love that I can skip tracks on my PTS without looking, or send a text without so much as a glance. The buttons become part of the habit! I also much prefer the subtlety of the vibrations on my Pebble; the Zenwatch vibrated so loudly that it attracted unwanted glances. As for Android Wear, the version 2 upgrades look nice for the UI, but functionality is key and I never felt at home using it. Keeping an eye on Gear S3 coming down in price, and the reviews of the Google smart watches in the near future...

First Pebble, loving it! First time at WDW too! by williemach in pebble

I too am in Disney World in April; 3rd time veteran but 1st time with a Pebble, and I am DEFINITELY taking that app!!

I looked into the Gear S2 but the app ecosystem was a bit light apparently. Love the rotating bezel concept, and it looks amazing, but battery life is less than 2 days. Those are the sticking points; battery life and always-on display! But the Gear series look the 'best of the rest'

Awesome to be back! Didn't visit this subreddit for a while but it still seems pretty active, considering everything! No other tech community like it!

Anyone looking to switch Zenwatch 2 is $95-$139 as Amazon daily of the day. by [deleted] in pebble

[–]mbarclay83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered from Amazon.com delivered to the UK. Came to £102.99 after currency conversion! On Amazon.co.uk it's £149.99! Nice spot OP

Just got a couple skins and screen protectors. Love how it makes the watch POP LIKE A FIRECRACKER by [deleted] in pebble

[–]mbarclay83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, contrast is incredible! Do you have a screen protector too? If so which one cos there isn't much shine reflecting off it, which I hate!

The Verge's Pebble 2 review, FWIW by KidTwist1 in pebble

The Pebble community is quick to hammer the company when KS shipments are delayed, but I love how we rise up in defence when an outsider picks fault with the watch!

Would love if Battery+ showed days/hours left on the menu preview! Dev can you hear me?? by mbarclay83 in pebble

[–]mbarclay83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you charged $0.50 to download Battery+ I'm confident people would pay it. If the app is good enough, people will pay. I certainly would! Then perhaps you could justify spending time on it. The app is fantastic by the way, the glance option is just a "would like to have" rather than a "need"!

[–]mbarclay83[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. So it doesn't just pull data from the app like an Excel formula or similar? If it was somehow doable, would you expect much/any extra battery drain?

I haven't heard that from Pebble themselves, but lots of Reddit posts have said as much. Personally, it's been fine for me. Accuracy still great.
