13 years ago?! Where does the time go. Unfortunately my original Pebble band deteriorated, but I did charge up my Pebble Time and it seemed to be working, will give it a sync for old times (pun) sake. I have a Pebble 2 Duo in route, I wasn’t much of a programmer 13 years ago so looking forward to doing some development on it (in C no less!).

> Unfortunately my original Pebble band deteriorated

Pebbles always used standard 22mm watch straps so that's an easy fix if you feel like reviving it.

Except the Pebble Steel which had a weird center lug

I'm interested in making something for my Pebble as well, but am hoping to avoid C and use something like Kotlin Native or use it as an excuse to finally learn Rust.

Rust might be possible, but Kotlin Native has a GC, and definitely will not run on a microcontroller. Developing the tooling to allow writing a Pebble app in rust does not sound like something someone who has never even written rust would likely to be well-equipped to take on either, but I'm all for ambitious projects!
