The Simplicity Won me Over, Mostly - sj_zero

I've got an Amazfit Bip S, it's my third Amazfit Bip. I mostly use it as just a watch, and for the money it's one of the better smart watches I've owned. Charging my watch every night isn't in the cards for me, but once a month is fine. I've got it connected via gadgetbridge instead of the chinesium app. Have the faceplate displaying all the time.

The simple watch isn't that much of a stretch, to be honest. I usually have most of the smart watch features disabled, because getting notifications is actually sometimes a pain.

One thing I miss from pebble that I've never seen again is the really top tier response stuff. On pebble I had 5 answers I could do and it was perfect for responding to people simply.
