    I had the same problem until I got a PineTime watch. Now I can use the navigation buttons on the watch face to skip ads (safely and responsibly, of course).

        A little. I had a pebble until the company got bought and killed.

        I want to see enough people buy a PineTime that they succeed, so I can get another one when my current one dies.

          I personally don’t like watches, but I would be really interested in getting one for payments. I actually have a Pixel watch for that so I don’t have to find my wallet to buy something.

          Not happy about the tracking, but I disabled what I could.

          If PineTime could do payments, I’d buy one today. It’s not happening though, which is unfortunate. But maybe I’ll get one anyway to see if I like privacy-focused smart watch features.

      PineTime watch

      How did you get yours to stay paired? I can’t get mine to stay connected after the initial pairing 🫤

        I had a ton of trouble with that when I first got it, but now it’s fantastic.

        There’s been some (very recent) patches to InfinityOS and maybe one to Gadget bridge that helped a lot. Lately it’s been great.

        If it’s still running a version before like 1.18(?), try to get it to update itself, and it may get a lot better.

          I’ll have to give it another look. Been rocking my Pebble again for a couple weeks now, I missed it quite a lot. The app is horridly outdated though, and the PineTime felt like a great stopgap until it just wouldn’t stay paired.
