@maya when they announced this I thought to myself, "but do i really think repebble is going to work? do i really want to order one?" and then I closed the tab, but like. I need to replace my smartwatch since the battery has degraded some. I want a month of battery life. I miss my weird blocky black and white plastic pebble from 2015. I am tempted.....

@maya my current smartwatch is, of course, an amazfit band 5 from 2021 which was extremely cheap and which is probably sending my heart rate info directly to China, which I have mitigated by not telling it correct values for my gender or weight and repeatedly denying it location privileges when it asks for them. So like. Maybe I could have a nice thing instead.

@maya (not to be xenophobic, i just hope whoever it is whose job it is to monitor heart rates in china is having a good time analyzing my data? they probably are not but I can hope)
