Assuming Eric / Core doesn't come out with some scathing "real story":

Well, it's better to figure this out today (that Eric / Core are not so great) rather than a year or two down the line when I'd have already bought a new Pebble. Still sucks, I was excited. Never had one but I want something in the same niche.

Does anyone have suggestions for other good low-capability, long battery, hackable eink watches?

We've been looking for these for years, and never found them. Pebble coming back was the solution that we all dreamed about.


Former Rebble dev here, I've been very happy with the BangleJS. It doesn't meet all of your criteria but the battery lasts me a week and it's more hackable than Pebble ever was.


If you're not looking for a smartwatch, but a hackable digital watch check out sensorwatch.net or other mods that may exist for the Casio F-91W


not eink, but have a look at pinetime


Garmin instinct? as I remember eink and almost month of battery life


> low-capability, long battery, hackable eink watches?

Gadgetbridge works pretty well with Amazfit smart watches, although they are OLED, not eink. Batteries last more than 1 week.
