Yes, you're right - it's a shame, but there is no speaker in the Bangle 2.0 (although the Bangle 1.0's speaker wasn't that loud).
However, in your Bangle 1.0, in Settings, does it say
Beep: Vibrate
orBeep: Piezo
?I ask because in the very first Bangles, many didn't have a Piezo speaker either, and so as a workaround we used the vibration motor as a makeshift speaker - which was about half as loud, but otherwise worked ok.
It'll be the same with Bangle.js 2 - you can still get sounds out of it, but they're not that loud.

Ah, I see. A real shame indeed. My Bangle's settings show both
Beep: Vibrate
andBeep: Piezo
as selectable options. It's set onBeep: Piezo
at the moment. You're also completely right, they both do sound similar and the piezo is slightly louder.
At least it'll still have a motor.
Thanks for the help, Gordon.
Hey, I learned recently of the upcoming Bangle.js 2.0 and I eagerly checked the specifications that Gordon uploaded to the website. It all looks really impressive, but I noticed no mention of a piezoelectric speaker.
My current Bangle.js 1.0 came with a piezo, and it's been really satisfying to play around with and use in my own applications.
Is there any possibility of a future release of Bangle.js 2.0 units that include a speaker?
