Hi guys!
So far I’ve been using Mi-Bands for a long time, and have been less happy each time with their increasingly frustrating pairing experience. All of course due to Xiaomi’s encription key mechanism. My current Mi Band 6 is dying a bit too early due to failing battery, and I’m now looking for another band. Which ones would you recommend?
I also tested the Pinetime, of which I have one. Notifications do work, but alas, at this moment it doesn’t have multiple sync-able alarms, nor reminders. At this moment only one alarm works, and only setting it via a clunky UI in the watch. So, until this works, is there any good alternative out there? My main needs are time, seeing message notifications at a glance, and setting multiple alarms and reminders for different things in a day. So far Mi Band does these well, but the pairing and the need to use their damn Zepp app the first pairing time is a bit frustrating.
Thanks!

You’re in a good position! Yeah, I’m sorry I got the Round. I think Pebble had lost touch with what their users wanted. At that point, I owned every model of Pebble, and felt obligated, but it was a mistake.
I still have hope for one of the OSS watches to get a good e-ink display and long battery life.
