If you're interested in tinkering, or you just want a watch you can completely own, Pebble has returned.

    I was considering ordering the Pebble 2 Duo last year, but when I finally decided to pull the trigger they were sold out. :(

    I love the idea of pebble, but I’m using it as a fitness tracker (steps and pulse etc). I wish there was a fitness tracker where I have full control of what metrics I wanna monitor and how to monitor them and when it should vibrate etc. none of that I have with Fitbit.

    I realise pebble is designed for tech enthusiasts and not really for fitness, but the time 2 does have a step counter, heart rate monitor, and sleep tracker.

    Is it possible that a community made app could do what you want?

    It doesn't look like they sell a dedicated fitness tracker. As far as I know, Fitbit is still the only company who makes a dedicated fitness tracker which isn't a smart watch. The market just doesn't seem to want to compete with them...

    Garmin too, but it didn’t suit my needs. I tried it.

    It looks like Garmin has the Vivosmart, which is a fitness band and not a watch. The last time I looked into Garmin trackers I only found the one that isn't rechargeable. Looks like this one is rechargeable.

    This might be my next tracker when my Fitbit dies.
