Trading the Galaxy Watch8 for a Core Pebble Time 2.

After years of “standalone” features that were just too clunky to use, I am moving back to the open ecosystem that started it all. Why?

- 30-day battery (estimated) vs. 30 hours
- No more charger-hunting
- Digital sovereignty & ease of dev
- Physical buttons for the win

It is time to stop charging the watch every night and get back to basics. ⌚️🔓
