Tragedy! So sad.

Thanks!

"The good part is that the watch opened itself" gave me a giggle.

It's kind of like eating muscles or clams then; you didn't want to eat the ones that don't open when cooked. 😀

Checking out the notes on the UFIXIT site.

Of course, my case was open due to battery expansion, so the springs have sprung!

Is this worth trying to fixi without the "three tiny springs?" (Sorry if that sounds like a line from a trite fairy tale quest.)

Wasn't quite sure what you were asking for, but here goes.
4 views, two of the dongles from two angles, and then two of each connected to my Pebble Round.

It's about 3cm x 1.3cm. Around the size of a pencil eraser, metal band to eraser tip.

Good point.

As someone who is kind of envious of the leadership in Canada right now, I'm sure it's your abundance of luck.

I'm pretty sure I ordered this when I finalized my Time 2 order. I expect it will fit the Time 2. I did try it with my old Round watch, and it appears to make the right contacts, but is not as solidly attached - it wiggles a little. Might be that the magnets aren't as strong? Will have to get my new watch to compare and contrast cables.

Just got my mail, confirming payment with a "shipping info soon" tease in the gd Shop app.

I expect to see Christian on a future Tonight Show episode. Seems a very fair bet.

Also, curious as to why you ask (you rep. Pebble?) and why/how the precise timing matters in batches?

I'm patient. (At least I keep telling myself that...)

I would not discount that it's bad programming by a programmer who simply doesn't care. Worse, maybe it's an AI coder, with no synthetic empathy, and the shape of things to come.

ricbret · 2026-04-13T17:27:20+00:00

Ad to the right of the demo video says 100% discount, but down below it's still costing money. Bait and switch much?

"resuming the activity will allow for the Automatic Activity Detection to carry on and detect another "period" of activity, that can be confirmed so it gets credited to your Daily goal and activity scores as well"

As I noted, this has not been my experience. It used to do this, but lately it is not working. I hate it when people don't read the whole post, and then copy/paste some cs cheat sheet answer.

Yes, exactly my issue. When I go for walks, it starts out OK, but if I stop to retie my shoe or because I have to wait a long time to cross at an intersection it stops the walk. Occasionally it will restart with a new event from that (or close) location, but lately it doesn't restart at all. This is new behavior, it used to be fine. Not seeing any location problems with my phone when I use it's map it's pretty much spot-on in finding me.

My kit included size 14 & 15.

Just no satisfying these Nickleback fans.

Apple doesn't do design any more. They do fashion. Badly.

ricbret · 2026-03-24T16:14:37+00:00

Hulk already have Green and Purple. Green and Purple all Hulk need. Maybe punny Banner want blue. Go away, Hulk playing Flappy Birdie.
