I love the idea of pebble, but I’m using it as a fitness tracker (steps and pulse etc). I wish there was a fitness tracker where I have full control of what metrics I wanna monitor and how to monitor them and when it should vibrate etc. none of that I have with Fitbit.
I realise pebble is designed for tech enthusiasts and not really for fitness, but the time 2 does have a step counter, heart rate monitor, and sleep tracker.
Is it possible that a community made app could do what you want?
Oh you’re right, I think it does indeed have what I need. I wonder what open source app I could get for my iPhone now that EU has forced Apple to allow third party app stores.
Yes, but I haven’t managed to find something yet. It seems it should be easy enough. I have an iPhone though still. I don’t want to replace it until I have to.
I ordered a duo, but they ran out sooner than expected, so I guess I’m getting a time 2. I can’t really complain because it is better, but I was excited for the barometer.
It doesn’t look like they sell a dedicated fitness tracker. As far as I know, Fitbit is still the only company who makes a dedicated fitness tracker which isn’t a smart watch. The market just doesn’t seem to want to compete with them…
It looks like Garmin has the Vivosmart, which is a fitness band and not a watch. The last time I looked into Garmin trackers I only found the one that isn’t rechargeable. Looks like this one is rechargeable.
This might be my next tracker when my Fitbit dies.
If you’re interested in tinkering, or you just want a watch you can completely own, Pebble has returned.
Obligatory fuck Fitbit for killing the pebble.

I was considering ordering the Pebble 2 Duo last year, but when I finally decided to pull the trigger they were sold out. :(

Garmin too, but it didn’t suit my needs. I tried it.

I bought vivoactive and sent it back because its app couldn’t do what I wanted.
