@noiob I’ve been eyeing one of these for a while, the main thing is how well can Casio make an app for it. And I got a GA 2100 a little while back

@seatsea I mean the app doesn't need to do much, really, it'll mostly work without it. Sadly, no Gadgetbridge support https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Casio

@noiob That's true, I guess if you only care about day to day tracking and not historical, or if it's mainly the design that matters most.
Shame about gadgetbridge though. I should pull out the mi band I have and see how well that integrates these days

But yeah I figured the extra cost wasn't worth it for me. Maybe in future

@seatsea I mean it'd be nice to get tracking into google fit or sth, but then again my main smartwatch is using Fitbit and that can only write into Health Connect

@noiob I have a vague recollection of having a slightly more primitive version of this (that in hindsight may have been a knock-off) in the late 90s/early 00s as a kid and loving it to bits

@Forgebold Casios were everywhere and they start at like 20€ for the classic F-91W

@Larymir I really don't like the design on this one and more than twice as expensive… I'm wearing a Pixel Watch these days and I'd like an alternative that's less techy and more sturdy

What broke on your P2? I repaired mine a few times, might be able to give you some pointers

@noiob
Uh, good question. I have one used from eBay where the battery stopped working and my original just never turned on again after running empty I think?
But I think I never threw them away, so if you still have some pointers for me.. :)

@Larymir hm, it's probably really hard to find good batteries aymore… my brother got one that was supposed to fit but it was too thick for the thing to close (great battery life though), I got a new old stock front case + battery replacement at some point (someone on aliexpress had a few trays from production) and the battery was never great. I don't think it did more than two days when I last used it

@noiob too big for the case seems like a problem one could fix with a 3D printer..

Do you have a link to a specific shop for the replacement your brother got? And maybe a guide for changing the battery itself?

@Larymir it was a random aliexpress product that isn't up anymore, unfortunately

changing the battery is quite straightforward, you pop out the back (it's glued, but not too hard), locate the battery and desolder it / solder in the new one

@Larymir ah, it was a Sony SBH-20 battery, there's a few on aliexpress but I can't vouch for any. I've had bad experiences with cameron sino though, so I'd advise against that brand

@noiob Thanks!

Also my buttons are totally unusable you do not happen to have any tips on how to repair them? (I used to repair them with sugru, but it seems like that made the rubber beneath strangely soft and now it's too squishy to push the real button)

@Larymir I bought a flexible 3D print from someone online once, I did a writeup of the different materials he sent me on reddit (image links are dead, unfortunately), later I replaced the whole front assembly with a new old stock part

@Larymir the original buttons are silicone so I'm guessing that sugru also contains silicone and something that softens that

@Larymir there's also a 3D print for a mold that you'd fill with silicone (I'm guessing the stuff you use for bathroom corners) but I never tried it

@Larymir oh! and sorry for the spam but there's also a 3D printable replacement case that works with Pebble 1 buttons, but you'd need to source those. I think the best way to get parts is the unofficial Discord, it should be linked somewhere on the subreddit

@noiob thank you! It's not spam if I asked for it and it's helping :)

@noiob @Larymir

I hate the modern internet
