       Around a month ago I bought a Xiaomi Mi Band 7, but recently I've used other watches  from a certain brand you may already be familiar with. So I wrote a bit about what's up with my smartband usage and stuff like that, and also a fun story of how I got the watch I bought yesterday. A little rambley but it is what it is.#blog https://joelchrono12.xyz/blog/i-am-fine-without-a-smartwatch/

       @joel #pinetime is the only smartwatch I have and I don't want any other (or regular one) :)

       @Wivik yeah, a pinetime would be a nice addition to my collection, I only wish shipping wasn't so expensive on my area, I could get a G-Shock instead and it would last me more than a decade.The pinetime may as well survive that long with a couple of battery replacements, although I may break the display or be clumsy and kill it xD

       @joel Actually, the pinetime is pretty tough and the battery can last long. It had several shock (like hurting a wall) and the case and the screen are still une a very good shape after one year. And after one week, the battery is still à 50%. I don't use a lot its features, InfiniTime is, of course, far more limited in features than the big ones. I mostly use its notifications reading and the music player.But yes, the shipping is expensive.

       @Wivik you know, if wonder if modding for the hardware itself already exists. Like a tougher case or custom display. It would be kinda interesting

       @joel Basically, you can buy the dev kit instead of this version and 3D-print the case you want 😁 The cased version is not supposed to be opened because of its waterproof seal.
