Why Pebble?
-
Always-on e-paper screen (it’s reflective rather than emissive. Sunlight readable. Glanceable. Not distracting to others like a bright wrist)
-
Long battery life (one less thing to charge. It’s annoying to need extra cables when traveling)
-
Simple and beautiful user experience around a core set of features (telling time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleep/step tracking)
-
Buttons! (to play/pause/skip music on my phone without looking at the screen)
-
Hackable (apparently you can’t even write your own watchfaces for Apple Watch? That is wild. There were >16k watchfaces on the Pebble appstore!)

So the battery % is actually calculated from the battery voltage, its possible that the reported voltage had some delay in being read and calculated.
Meaning it could look like the battery % was going up after being removed from the charger because last voltage read was delayed.
I'm using gadgetbridge, so it's just reading what the watch tells it. Shouldn't be any delays there. Also the watch ui was reporting the same with the % slowly going up.
Feels like for some reason the warch was reading the wrong value. 🤷
That number is direct from the watch firmware, you can see it in the code.
Yeah I mean what I meant is that the voltage for some reason was reading incorrectly at the hw level
