    I’m almost always listening to podcasts while doing things like driving, exercising, or biking, so no I can’t really dick around with my phone to skip stuff easily most of the time.

      I recently discovered, the “next track” button on my steering wheel is not actually “next track” but “skip 30sec” in the podcast app (AntennaPod). Absolute game changer. I skip all sponsors now! YMMW depending on the app.

      I had the same problem until I got a PineTime watch. Now I can use the navigation buttons on the watch face to skip ads (safely and responsibly, of course).

          A little. I had a pebble until the company got bought and killed.

          I want to see enough people buy a PineTime that they succeed, so I can get another one when my current one dies.

            I personally don’t like watches, but I would be really interested in getting one for payments. I actually have a Pixel watch for that so I don’t have to find my wallet to buy something.

            Not happy about the tracking, but I disabled what I could.

            If PineTime could do payments, I’d buy one today. It’s not happening though, which is unfortunate. But maybe I’ll get one anyway to see if I like privacy-focused smart watch features.
