I miss my pebble. It was such a good watch. It would last a week on one charge with eink.

The power connector was the fiddliest thing in the world and proprietary so when it failed and the batter failed soon after...the watch was dead.

I have a Garmin watch. Lasts 2+ weeks on a charge depending on how I use it.

Ive heard it works with solar too? Does it stop working after a certain timeperiod of just go into low power mode until it gets enough sun?

I had one with solar and one without, I think the solar is mostly useless.

It only takes a short time to charge it up with the USB charger (proprietary charger, FYI) so I don't think it really matters.
