Dude, that blows. I'm sorry to hear that :(

Oh, ok. Sorry, I don't know how to use either of those. You'll need to reach out to them on that one.

To interject a bit, as both an original pebble and current re-pebble backer who also has tried most of the other watches (no-name chinese ones and samsung) The no-name ones actually aren't bad. But none of them have anywhere near the build quality - which is frankly a bit shocking. They also have nowhere near the interoperability - I can (and did) crank out faces and apps for my pebble to suit my own personal use case. That's possible with some of the big-name ones (like the Samsung), but certainly not the chinese knockoff ones.

So for me, personally, having effectively a backup to my time steel is a good deal and I'm down for it. I'd actually prefer nothing else about it change much - aside from going to normal lugs. The weirdo ones are why I still am using the same slightly ratty band all these years later.

Does the pebble app show your current watch face as active?

The app has a nice selection of faces, and you can also make your own (I made a few), though tbh I most use "blue futuristic" on mine

Which was my point, yes.

Wearing a Pebble Time steel right now, and I'm cautiously optimistic for this.

Much like when IBM bought RH and then axed CentOS?

But Fedora is based on an IBM product... so that's a swing and a miss. SuSE would be a better direction, IMO
