Sounds like a use case for a fitness watch, not a Pebble.
Why use this over an apple watch or fitbit?
Great. Bring back Pebble. Low power, unlit low-res screen, week-long battery. Give me notifications, directions, and the time on my wrist and nothing else and I'm happy.
Seconding the Garmin watches, been using a Forerunner for years and the battery still lasts over a week with an always-on display. Does about as much as a Pebble and even has a documented SDK with sideloading. The refresh rate is very low but totally fine for a watch, I think newer models have much better displays. The only thing I wish were better is exporting all the tracked health data in a format I can use myself. Using the official tool for that I couldn't even get heart rate data.
you should give the withings watch a shot. the battery lasts a month and they look like normal watches
The Pebble? Still no decent replacement for it.
Also Garmin watches if you'd prefer wearing something with battery lasting weeks, not hours ;)
Might be more convenient to use on a smart watch.
Check out the Wyze Watch, it's surprisingly good for the price, and battery life is great
The OG smartwatch is betterhttps://repebble.com/
