The notifications aren't great, and the non-e-ink screen is a bit annoying. Also the low amount of physical buttons.

But as someone who bought an OG Pebble and now has a Vivoactive 3, I think the fitness features are too nice to switch back fully to Pebble. Although I'll be very glad to see Pebble back!

Which watch has an e-ink(/epaper) display? I can only think of Watchy. Pebble was LCD.

No, pebble was definitely e-ink. And I think the most recent ones had colour epaper.

Edit: Sorry, looking further down I see that they say epaper, which is not the same: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42845508

It looks like they're memory in pixel (MIP) displays, which are basically reflective LCDs I think.

Not a "normal" one, though...
