I have been using the Mi Band for years which I generally like, although it's quite a simple device

I'm currently using a Mi Band 6 (with a nylon strap that's real comfy), but I wish the Pebble still existed. The e-paper display, the nice UI and tactile buttons, with good battery life and the ability to make apps was great.

Once my Mi Band breaks, I'm torn between Garmin (since they check almost all of the Pebble boxes, even if I don't do fitness and they're more fitness oriented) and a Galaxy Watch with the rotating bezel, since that was really cool to play with, plus the Android integration might be nicer.

I have no idea why no other company has been able to recapture the magic of pebble. It was by far the best smartwatch I've ever owned.

There is watchy, pretty sure it is from the same guy who made the pebble.

It's no Pebble, but I chose the BangleJS 2 for its openness and the ability to load and even make apps myself.
