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!)

It depends, for me it's 1 press and hold to open the timer, then 2 presses to navigate to the timer, than 1 more press to start it. So 4 total.
Making a new 5 min timer is 10 button pushes.
Might want to check this one out –once launched, a 5 min timer is a single press https://apps.repebble.com/63a5cca9f2e945c092123615
thanks! does that second part mean you can add new timer presets you can then easily go back to?

This is the app which I use for the timer. You can have several timers saved at once which you can go back to.
