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!)

Battery % is estimated based on a voltage measurement tool across the terminals of the battery and data that is tuned to that specific battery.
Lots of things could be happening. Likely if you're not experiencing battery or petformance issues is that the measurement hardware is degrading.
Yeah the watch is performing just fine and given that a reboot fixed it... Idk. We'll see if it happens again. But yeah sounds like something hardware related if it repeats. Doesn't really matter as long as I can accurately know when the battery is low. Esp with 12+ day battery life. Hopefully it was just a fluke.
Was mostly wondering if there was a known reason for it to happen .
