Shiet. The screw holes of my #pebble got broken.
The screws just go through, the back cover doesn't attach anymore.
Anyone an idea what I could do? Are there replacement parts?

Been so excited about the new #pebble watches that I've been working on a Kirby-themes watchface app for them. Getting to the stage where it's starting to come together in the emulator!
I've replaced the battery on my Pebble Time Steel and looking forward to charge it again after I've emptied the battery completely for the first time. It's running since 2025-03-21 = around 10 days and it's still at 4%.
Regarding the drops: I wasn't able to wear it all the time (first I've attached the screen using tape and when glueing it back on, a pin of my wristband failed...)
The latest #Pebble blog post reminds me of why I’m backing this project: https://ericmigi.com/blog/gratitude-and-faq
On the one hand, Pebble proved to the world that smartwatches are a thing, and now there are several out there, but most are slick, locked-down things.
The new Pebble is a scrappy, tiny company, building a watch that is specifically open-source, extensible and repairable, with the visible-in-sunlight screen and massive battery life I love. It's nicely anti-#enshittified…
Ahhh, so they put out some more detailed info on the new #Pebble watches. It turns out that the Core 2 Duo model is going to be literally the Pebble 2. Like they found a supplier that still had stock of most of the parts from the original Pebble 2. Unfortunately this means the issue with the buttons falling apart will still be a thing. Though they say they have made a slight tweak to improve their durability a little.
Wer es nicht mitbekommen hat. Eric Migicovsky legt #Pebble wieder auf. Die 2 Varianten sind behutsame Upgrades der Pebble 2 und Pebble Time 2. Es kann vorbestellt werden: https://store.repebble.com/ Vielleicht wird's ja auch wieder eine Steel-Variante geben.
Hoy traigo a los #MiercolesDeRelojesDePulsera un #Pebble 2, el último reloj que llego a sacar la empresa Pebble antes de cerrar sus puertas abruptamente. Este reloj era el primero de la empresa en incluir sensor de ritmo cardiaco, obligada por el mercado a adaptarse a la moda de los relojes con funciones de salud.
El principal problema de este reloj es que los botones laterales estaban hechos de un plástico que, literalmente, se deshacía al cabo de 3 meses de uso por el contacto con la piel. Los botones que veis en el reloj los he hecho con una impresora 3D y se los he puesto este pasado fin de semana.
Los nuevos relojes que va a sacar la renacida Pebble (ahora Core) van a usar el mismo diseño y no han aclarado si el material de los botones es el mismo, solo han dicho que "son un 30% más resistentes"
@fakeshell Incase anyones wondering I gave this a shot with rockwork for my #pebble and its working. Lets me use my pebble while i wait for the amazfish support. Notifications dont work due to how UT handles notifications but getting stats is at least pretty useful! Need to see what other UT apps i can try.

Do we already have a common # for the new Core Device watches?
#Pebble loving friends. If you're getting one of the new watches, which one did you go for?
Definitely my top tech story of last week. It's a brutal commentary on the state of competition in the tech space right now, where the return of a funny little project like Pebble can generate this much discussion.
#Pebble is back! At least sort of, with the open-sourced OS and now a couple of new watches up for preorder.

@erebion I will. I'm carrying it right now. During the test, the screen is fixed with some tape.
Thanks for asking regarding the battery connector I was very careful and used kapton tape to isolate all contacts I wasn't working on. I think that working on the old (swollen) battery is less critical than working on the the new battery. I wasn't able to measure a voltage on the old battery. Both batteries are equipped with a protection circuit.
