The Pebble smartwatch is making a comeback. Google has open-sourced the Pebble software, which means anyone — including Pebble’s founder — can make one. ( www.theverge.com )

What I'm most looking forward to on a new Pebble:

• Battery life. With the battery and cpu efficiency improvements in the last 10 years, if the features and other specs stay the same then battery life should be incredible. I think month-long battery is likely possible.
• Improved voice recognition and AI features. Pebble had voice recognition but it sent everything to a server to process. Now they could run speech-to-text on the watch itself or on the connected phone.
• More durable buttons. A known issue with the Pebble 2 is eventually the buttons turn to mush.

My AmazFit Bip could do a month when it was new (it's down to ~10 days now after a few years), so I would think a month from Pebble would be feasible.

I don't understand using a watch that you can't use for AT LEAST a weekend without power ... as it is, I'm pissed off that I'm down to 10 days (it's stayed steady here for 6 months or so, so, I'm hoping it won't degrade too much more before the new Pebble comes out).
