  1. @debacle @joeycastillo it looks interesting. But I've got a Bandle.js 2 for a discount (at 80 €) at last FOSDEM, and I'm very happy with it : working very well, simple, good ecosystem and easy to hack.

    I'm not sure that the price difference worth it (to be compared to Core Time 2 duo to color and touch screen).

    Core Time 2 has microphone/speaker and targets IPX8 (Bandlej.js 2 is IP67, so no shower or swimming), but besides that, they seem very similar.

  2. @Moosader I have one since FOSDEM, very happy with it.

    I have not coded much (lack time), but it's super easy to do, there is a web framework, app loader + IDE (Chrome based only unfortunately, due to web bluetooth support) + CLI tools.

    By default Bluetooth is not protected, but you can add password or use whitelist. Not sure how secure it is though.

  3. I've also bought a Puck.js, a button sized Bluetooth BLE device, full of sensors and low consumption. The same dev tools as for Bangle.js can be used. It's a generic device that can be use and re-used for plenty of use cases (movement detection, NFC tag, magnetic field detection, basic light detection, IR, ad-hoc button, door opening, water level monitor, etc).

  4. I've bought a #Bangle.js 2 at #FOSDEM, I like it!

    I've charged it once just after FOSDEM (on Sunday), and it still shows 40% of battery, screen is sun readable, and several useful sensors.

    Being a #Python dev, I was more into micropython (I have a #PineTime with #WaspOS). But the #espruino tool chain is really nice: 600+ apps easy to upload from browser (sadly not supported by Firefox), simple IDE with REPL, and CLI tools. I can use Python on computer with #javascript on watch.

    Neat work!
