Isn't the pebble watch getting a re-release? Might be neat to tinker with. There's also a conversion kit thing for one of the classic digital casio watches. Both are tinkering friendly and open source.

These projects are fun to hear abt because I always go "damn I wish I heard about that six years ago" only to find out it is emerging from 8 years of developmental purgatory. So in a way I got to skip the wait

My pebble 2 Duo arrived yesterday... It doesn't yet pair with Gadgetbridge but I imagine it will at some point.

I've also ordered the Pebble Time 2, which I think will be a better watch for me: going back to a b/w display without touchscreen is hard. The Time2 has both colour and touchscreen....

I went with the duo, haven't gotten mine yet. Considering I've never given up on my Pebble 2 and Steel (with 1 day battery life) it's an easy switch for me. I tried the new Pebble app, it sucks. I'm hoping the Rebble version will work with the Duo. I use waaaay too many third party software options to go without.

I was wondering this myself. Thank you for that useful information.
