*leading orchestrator of propaganda alongside the US, which has the most effective propaganda machine in the history of the world, more effective even than its actual military

All you need is to check the miles-long list of antidemocratic coups d'etat organized by - or with the critical support of - the US, and what the press or the public thought at the time if you asked them if the US was doing that.

Ehh, I don't even think super-miniaturized components are needed to improve that ratio - it was already the thinnest smartwatch ever, I imagine some clever component rearranging and accepting a bit more thickness could get us some visible bezel reduction.

Never cared about Pebble's fitness/health tracking and never used it. I don't need my health reported to me in numbers every day, I'm not a performance athlete nor a hospital patient. Living my personal life trying to hit some numbers dictated to me by some app sounds like a horrifying idea, like a second work life at home.

Still rocking my Time Steel since 2015, still running the same official version of the software on both watch and phone - as far as my Pebble is concerned nothing much has changed in the last decade except the app store mysteriously went offline, and the battery no longer lasts two weeks (shutting it down every time I get home).

Really awesome to hear by the time this little guy gives up the ghost there might already be a legitimate/official successor available to switch to.

Huge bezel though. Would've got it if not for the bezel, I really wanted to make a custom 24h watchface for a Round. Went for the Time Steel instead. Hope in this new leg of the journey they can get a Round to have bezel coverage more on par with the rectangular models.

Huh. I appreciate what they did with the tech there, but looking at this Bangle.js the first thing that comes to mind is I hope NuPebble(?) doesn't adopt that excessively-curvy-rectangle shape that screams Apple Watch, I've learned to recoil in disgust even seeing that shape.
