I've replaced the battery on my Pebble Time Steel and looking forward to charge it again after I've emptied the battery completely for the first time. It's running since 2025-03-21 = around 10 days and it's still at 4%.

Regarding the drops: I wasn't able to wear it all the time (first I've attached the screen using tape and when glueing it back on, a pin of my wristband failed...)

Samsung starts working on the Galaxy Watch8 series

While a new update for all existing smartwatches is in the works, Samsung has recently started development of the One UI Watch software for the upcoming smartwatch series, which is a Galaxy Watch8 series, which will be unveiled in an upcoming Unpacked event this year. A tipster on X has mentioned that there were new smartwatches that were added to the firmware server, along with our addition of the SM-L500 model:

  • SM-L320: L320XXU0AYC4/L320OXM0AYC4/
  • SM-L330: L330XXU0AYC4/L330OXM0AYC4/
  • SM-L500: L500XXU0AYC4/L500OXM0AYC4/
  • SM-L325U: L325USQU0AYC6/L325UOYM0AYC6/L325USQU0AYC6
  • SM-L335U: L335USQU0AYC6/L335UOYM0AYC6/L335USQU0AYC6
  • SM-L505U: L505USQU0AYC6/L505UOYM0AYC6/L505USQU0AYC6

This is an interesting update, as we now know that there are three new smartwatches on the works, with two variants: Bluetooth variant and cellular variant. As more information about the new watches, as well as the beta program for the next One UI Watch that may start in the second half of this year, we’ll let you know.

After extensive testing, here’s a 3D model of a Velcro-equipped speaker casing. Designed for a design session where users can explore different placements on a wearable element. As always, modeled with FreeCAD. #3DModeling #WearableTech #SpeakerDesign #FreeCAD #ProductDesign #Prototyping #TechInnovation #IndustrialDesign #OpenSource #HardwareDesign #Engineering #DesignThinking #CAD #Makers #DIY #Acoustics #ElectronicsEnclosure #FLOSS #design #uidesign #tui #wearable
