    Well that is great news.

    I killed my pebble a few years ago. I tried a few others, currently wearing a bangle.js which is ok, but it isn’t as good as my old pebble.

      What kind of power computing do you want to do on a watch ? It’d be so wasteful to put super advanced chips in those, honesty a really bad mindset

        In this case “better” corresponds with “newer”. With newer chips being on newer process nodes, they are likely to have better efficiency, giving the watch better battery life.
