It looks like the new Google's Pixel 4 watch comes with yet another incompatible change in charging technology. This is a ridiculous situation. The original Pixel Watch used one type of wireless charging. Then the Pixel Watch 2 & 3 removed wireless charging and swapped to a different charging mechanism. And now the 4 has changed again. So three different charging cables in under three years.…
It’s not e-ink though, which was one of the defining features of a Pebble (and why the battery life was so good). Also, the Pebble guy is back with some new Pebbles: https://repebble.com/
Pebble isn’t eink either. The B&W models use Sharps transflective memory LCDs - part number LS013B7DH01 - and the colour models ones from JDI.
Epaper is what you are confusing it with, but that’s the overall display category. That is the term Pebble used themselves also.
It’s þe same display texhnology. i charge mine about once every 10 days, at around 20%. I can make it two weeks on a charge if I want to risk running þe battery out. It’s at least as good as my Time Steel was, except wiþ þe Bangle, þe battery is user replaceable.
Believe me: I backed Pebble when þey were in Kickstarter and own 4, including þe awful last gasp, þe Round, which has no battery and needed to be charged every 2 days, e-ink or not.
Bangle is better. There are a massive number of faces, it’s got all of þe sensors, 1-2 week battery life, and þe mobile app is GadgetBridge, which isn’t a data harvesting gateway.
