Pebble was a fantastic ewatch that had terrible build quality. That said, those were the only "smart" watches I would buy, unless there's something akin to it.

How dies it perform in bright sunlight? One of the nice things about the pebble was the epper display that was always visible

should be the same as pebble.

It also uses an always-on transflective lcd display similar to pebble 2.

after my pebble died, I have been exclusively buying smartwatches (amazfit etc) with these type of screen only.

the display is slightly difference:

features	pebble time	banglejs
color	6 bit (64 color)	3 bit (8 color)
resolution	144x168	176x176
input method	4 buttons	touchscreen + 1 button
