I love my pebble time 2. I wanted a tide app for fishing -- there wasn't one for my country yet (Canada, there are some good US ones)... So I had Claude make me one and had it on my wrist in an hour or so. I think they did a really good job with the dev. process with this watch.

I don't really think a smart watch would add any value to my life, and I suspect that's actually true for most people that think otherwise, but I love the idea of custom watch faces. There are some really interesting and creative ones for pebble, that comic drop one the author links too is pretty sweet.

I have a fascination with the subject of smart watches - specifically, those I can hack on myself (i.e. no iWatch/Garmin/etc.) - so I have a collection of them .. a Watchy, an Oscilloscope Watch, the PineTime, numerous LilyGo ESP32 thingies, the M5Stick, and so on.
I don't ever wear them but I sure do love hacking on them, and they are the perfect platforms for exploring PlatformIO, FreeRTOS, ZephyrOS, and so on. I admit, its mostly just for hacking/exploration of embedded for that form factor, which is great. (I've also gotten paid jobs on the basis of that hacking, which is also great.)
Every now and then, though, I look at the pile of devices and think "I should probably track my biometrics, and try to work out how to get healthier with the watch as my primary bio- I/O tool", and I dig in .. its kind of fun to have a database of the last months heart rates ("see honey, I did enjoy our date last week"), step counts, and so on.
But I just can't comfortably work with a watch on my wrist, so I don't wear them.
For sure, I'm putting "make a custom watchface for the PineTime and Watchy" on my list of things to do next time I open that particular drawer of forgotten things ..

The design on this watchface is great, I've found myself going in the same direction but with a super dense more excel like custom watchface. Even "very busy" showcase while visually extreme is still legible and interesting.
It's been nice to have a small piece of technology that's designed to be this modifiable.

my pebble is finally almost on its way after ordering it 7 months ago. can't wait. the SensorWatch Pro board for the Casio F91w is also pretty neat.

I am sorry you have tough issues that seem to be related to ADHD. It is rough. Maybe try not to minimize what is hard for others, though.

Where did they do that?
