Here's my answer (as the founder of Pebble - both eras!) on this. We're a small company this time (standing on the shoulders of giants by using open source PebbleOS - thank you google!). We are excited to make new devices, but war

Generally most sleep tracking products use actigraphy (measurements of your movement) to track sleep. Pebble partnered with researchers at Stanford back in the day to produce an algorithm for our operating system, which worked quite well an

It has a built in weather app and hundreds of watchfaces that show weather as well.

Would make it thicker, I wanted it to be very thin.

sharp, same display that's in Garmin MIP watches (like Forerunner 255) but tbh looks much better in Round 2!

No plans to offer more SKUs, sorry. Already have enough to manage.

still works fine with iOS, will work even better in EU next year when Apple is forced to comply with the DMA.

There are several different options you can pick from between 50MB and 600MB.

It has a hard cutoff built into the firmware at two minutes so after that point the recording stops and the ring turns off until the next button press.

This isn't a question I understand, but I appreciate you writing it. At the end of the day it's up to you - if you think this is useful, please use it. If you don't want to use it because of the 4.7 grams of e-waste, I do get

You could write software to do that if you wanted to

The firmware is not open source. I licensed it from a friend of mine. You can definitely assign different actions to button presses, that's handled by the phone side

The app is 100% open source so you could add that feature if you wanted to. We'd love a PR for that!

We thought about this of course: the ring is limited to 2-minute recordings, then button presses are ignored until the next button press

If you look at other rechargeable smart rings they're in the $250 to $300 range, plus a $10/month subscription. We didn't want to do that for a new product like this.

It can work exactly like that, if you have a Pebble. But it works standalone as well.
