Fossil is quitting smartwatches::Fossil is going to stop making smartwatches. It was one of the most prolific companies creating Wear OS watches.
I don’t know of any e-ink displays outside of Fossil but give Garmin a try. I use the Vivoactive 4 and get a week+ of battery.
I went from Pebble > Fossil > Garmin.
Watchy which is open source and comes in a build it yourself kit has an e-ink display.
I came across the project before but they don’t have biometric stats that I was looking for.
Yikes, it’s also square… I still can’t believe Apple fans haven’t realized how shitty those look.
Yep - Garmin Venu 3 here. I just charged and it’s telling me 15 days of battery, but with my use I’ll probably charge it in 12-13 days.
Garmin are atrocious compared to hybrid watches or the legendary pebble. Had one for like a week before I sent it back, there was so much wrong with it.
Care to elaborate?
My Hybrid’s screen died under 9 months of use. The e-ink screen started to fade. Not sure if it was from sun light or maybe knocked around.
I haven’t had the Garmin for as long yet but it’s nice enough to use outdoors.
