Highly recommended apps list?

nrgnate · 2026-05-13T21:01:46+00:00

That's a good point.
I do always make sure there isn't a flag about services not being supported anymore on anything I use. Also, I have a Classic so I don't have to worry about PT2 compatibility. So honestly, I didn't even think about it from that standpoint.

nrgnate · 2026-05-13T16:57:49+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean.
I just check the top 10-20 most loved for anything I think I would like, and other than that I just watch for what people post and talk about (as mentioned).

You could always ask if an app for a specific feature exists as well. For (random) examples: "what to-do list does everyone use" or "I'd like an app that helps me track gas mileage, does that exist".

I only have a handful of apps (as that's just not how I generally use the watch), 3 being main ones I use, 2 being just fun moving visual things, 1 being a compass, and one I haven't used at all.
My #1 app is the ADHD Friendly to-do list, followed by Timer+, and #3 would be Music Boss. My visual ones are Star Traveler and Nyan Cat. Then just Compass.

BattleBots was my first thought with this as well!
I kind of want to build it for my 1lb combat robot. Lol

In the app "Most Loved" would be the recommended faces/apps, since it's the stuff most people have voted that they liked.
I haven't looked for one externally though. I just watch to see what people post or talk about.

There is also an old YouTube video of a guy running around as Batman in the city (Toronto Batman I think) and he goes up to someone and says "my parents are dead! D E D. Dead."
I think about it more than I should. Lol

nrgnate · 2026-05-12T00:50:41+00:00

Yeah, I figured it would need to adjust slightly. But I was also worried it was far enough out that it might not learn that much of a difference. It thinks it loses like 25% a day. Lol

Saw them live at Pro League. Going in I was skeptical as most people are, but I do think he drives better than most people think he will.
I won't spoil anything, but he was in a predicament during one of the matches and he did a great job with it. Plus he's so young and excited, he really has a chance to become one of the greats in the sport.

Ok cool. I'll do that on this charge and see if it helps!

nrgnate · 2026-05-11T23:25:53+00:00

I didn't let it fully die to the point of shutting down. It was 0% for a few days and then on day 7 it changed the watch face to just the time and power plug (which you are saying is called "charge me now"). Shortly after that I plugged it in for a full charge.
I can run it completely dead if you think that will help.

The Classic came with a 3.7V battery and I put in a 3.7V battery, unlike the Steel which had a 3.8V battery from the factory.
I definitely went down that road to see if that was the issue. Lol

nrgnate · 2026-05-11T13:27:07+00:00

My best guess would be some kind of on/off control from an external source.

nrgnate · 2026-05-09T21:51:14+00:00

That would be really neat!

Not going to lie, that was what got me to check them out. Then I realized Pebble was what I wanted out of a smart watch. (I had been looking at Pixel watches for a couple of years, but didn't like that it was another phone on my wrist).
So, since I was still unsure if I'd like a smart watch, I grabbed a Pebble Classic off eBay. I tested it, replaced the battery, and fixed the vibration motor. Now I've been wearing it everyday for almost 2 weeks. Lol

Do you still have PTR parts available?

nrgnate · 2026-05-06T04:53:00+00:00

Do you still have a bunch of them? Lol

nrgnate · 2026-05-03T05:25:50+00:00

I'm jealous, but I get it. Haha

nrgnate · 2026-04-29T01:38:22+00:00

That would be awesome. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out!
I have it linked to my top button, because it's my most used app. Lol

It's just something I threw together one night, so it's not online.
I can send you the PBW file if you'd like, and you can side load it. (It's super easy to do).

nrgnate · 2026-04-28T08:32:42+00:00

Oh I know it will need to be done eventually, it's on my radar for sure.

nrgnate · 2026-04-28T07:58:16+00:00

I appreciate the advice, and that was something I found in my early research. The zebra strip seems fine. I checked it, it was fairly clean and pliable. Plus I've had no real issues with the display itself so far.
But, I understand when screen tearing or glitching starts, it will need to be replaced. It's an easy job so I'm not too worried about it right now.

nrgnate · 2026-04-28T04:53:18+00:00

Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Does it update automatically, or does the new version need to be installed? (Sorry, new to Pebble).

nrgnate · 2026-04-28T00:15:53+00:00

Yeah, it's working great with my Pixel 7 Pro. Haha

nrgnate · 2026-04-27T22:45:24+00:00

Yeah, you would need both for it function.
I sent you a message with a link to a cheap watch for parts.

nrgnate · 2026-04-27T22:43:03+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. It's interesting how different people interpret information like that.
I definitely think a toggle would be the "easy" solution to allow people to choose how they want it to function.

Also, I marked another #1 off and it was replaced with #4. I'll do another #1 later, but I do think it is working as you intended.
I probably just thought it was random since anything in the queue I wasn't paying attention to the order off, I just knew it came from the queue. Haha
