PineTime has been the only watch I've liked since my pebble, but it is a downgrade to my overall experience. If I want a good battery life (great, even) I can't have an always on screen, and I miss the physical buttons for interacting without looking. The vibration motor is solid, though.

I will miss my 28 day long battery when I leave it. Hopefully a new pebble can achieve a similar battery life.

That's exactly my experience, as well.

The PineTime is the best current option for a pebble enthusiast, since the Pebble.

But I still have to charge the PineTime every week or so, and that is with the screen off most of the time.

I miss the Pebble's battery life.
