OK - despite the fact that #money is *pretty* tight right now, I did a pledgey thing. I don't do pledgey things very often... I think the last thing I pledged was the #Pebble watch. Which I loved, and so did lots of other folks. So, this means I have incredible taste, and you should definitely do a pledgey thing too.

Google open sourced the operating system of the #Pebble smartwatch, 10 years after Pebble went bankrupt, it got sold to Fitbit, which then got acquired by Google.

The founder of Pebble is now bringing out new watches. So there will be a capable smartwatch with a world-class open source operating system.

It is extremely low end, which means 30 days of battery life instead of the measly 1-2 days of some other smartwatches.

What sets Pebble apart as well is its excellent UI/UX and also DX.

Wearable technology is amazing until you realize you can’t program your watch to wake you up after you’ve slept for a certain amount of time during daytime without jumping through millions of hoops.

Also a person should be able to modify its software significantly if they own the said product. Why is it a crime?

That's part of the reason why I preordered the revived #Pebble.

It runs a fully open source operating system, and its companion app is (will be?) open source as well. So the things you mention should be possible. 🤞
