Yup! Can wear in shower - great for shower thoughts

Happy to answer any questions you have!

This is one of the reasons why we decided not to have rechargeable batteries! We saw what happened to the Samsung ring.

There is no risk of swelling with Index 01

That is incredibly fantastic feat of engineering!

I don't actually own a Rivian. I've seen them from afar. They look cool. I have not held a Pebble Time up to a Rivian yet. Maybe I'll creepily do that in downtown Palo Alto today :)

Material color is very tough, especially comparing metallic paint to polycarbonate. Lighting matters, reflections matter. We tried our best, but yes, obviously it's not exactly the same.

They should be identical.

In the video, the green thing is the gasket. It should be reusable, but nothing's guaranteed in the world of waterproofing.

Good question! (I am the Pebble founder)

When factories restart, not all of the workers who were working there before actually come back to work. Some of them stay in their hometowns or they get other jobs. This means that restarting the production line actually means retraining people on how to assemble the product. There is also an entire supply chain behind the assembly line that takes time to restart. Think of all the sub-components like plastics, metal components, etc. that need to be built at respective factories. It takes time to ship them to the primary factory for final assembly and test.

After the product gets assembled, there are several stages of testing, like gluing, environmental testing, final assembly test, and packaging, that take time as well. Then the product has to be shipped to the fulfillment center, packaged, labeled, and then shipped out. Each step time, and the process needs to completely re-start after CNY.

Sounds like they're rolling back the mandatory verification flow:

Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn't verified. We are designing this flow specifically to resist coercion, ensuring that users aren't tricked into bypassing these safety checks while under pressure from a scammer. It will also include clear warnings to ensure users fully understand the risks involved, but ultimately, it puts the choice in their hands. We are gathering early feedback on the design of this feature now and will share more details in the coming months.

Pebble 2 _Duo_ ;)

I'm on Mac OS, encountering the same problem. I tried opening `cha -o'page.p="pager.alert(config.page.j)"' -V` then press `p`...nothing happens

We're still working on improving the documentation, but here's a good place to start https://github.com/richinfante/rebbletool and https://developer.rebble.io/developer.pebble.com/tutorials/j...

Holy crap, I almost want to make it just so we can name it that.

International shipments will not be sent from the USA; they'll be shipped directly from Asia. The comment is in reference to your own countries - they may charge tariffs.

I think it's a little bit more. I don't know if I've ever measured it. You can definitely see it in battery life though. Using a watch face that only updates every minute will give you longer, better life.

We supported it before, should be pretty straightforward to support now.

it will be an option for Core 2 Duo, coming later.

there's an open-source companion app already, called Cobble. https://github.com/pebble-dev/mobile-app

Core Devices will publish an open source fully featured library, that anyone can use to build an open source companion app as well.

Not sure how that would work. You still need connectivity, which the phone provides.

The new watches will use the exact same protocol as Pebble watches, so Gadgetbridge should work by default.

I have no reason to think that it will not work well for 2 years, but I am not prepared to guarantee that in a warranty. That would be taking on too much risk as a small company.

Aww really glad to hear it!

It is fast - but we've done this before (many times) and know what we're doing. I've been blogging about the experience too https://ericmigi.com/blog/february-shenzhen-trip-update

1) Yes, the hardest part of building a watch is getting a display. There is only 1 vendor and we have to use what they make. Custom displays cost $1m+ and take 18 months to build.

2) It's not a running watch. I'd recommend getting garmin if you're looking for that.

It's using the appstore right now

Something fancy
