around 60 hours right now.

Ok, that sounds about right with HRM. By default it looks like when HRM is showing, the HRM is on.
But just go into Settings -> Apps -> Clock Info -> HRM and change it to 'Tap'

When that is set, when you first display the HRM view it turns the HRM on for 1 minute, and it turns it on when you tap on the HRM clockinfo too. Otherwise HRM is only on when it's turned on for the 'health' app - probably every 10 minutes - and it just shows you the last HRM value.

So with that you'll probably be back to much longer battery life.

Would like to have a nice watchface with action buttons and without battery drain

Pebble++ should be fine drain wise - it just gives you the flexibility to put things on that drain your battery too :)

There's not that much useful alternatives for the info boxes

You know you can install extras with https://banglejs.com/apps/?c=clkinfo

So you can have buttons for BTHome on there, sunrise/sunset, or a timer (which I often use).

If there's something specific you'd like though let me know - clockinfos are often pretty simple

Need to check this out. Perhaps I can do something myself. Want to get into it anyways.

Oh, okay. Will change the setting you are suggesting. Thanks! It was set to always of course. :D

Additionally, I found another "problem" where I have no real idea when it started. It's a bit funny, because it shows I'm not looking at my bangle that often right now. This is mostly because it's fall/winter and I wear longshirts and jackets - often with handwarming extensions - so I cannot read my watch anyway.

I do use Podcast Addict for listening to podcasts. It shows a notification box like spotify when running on the phone. For whatever reason this ends up on the bangle with media controls. This was not the case so far. This by itself is no problem but something is buggy here. The notification does not go away and is stuck in messages. When there's no newer notification to be shown on the watch, then the media info is shown with title scrolling left and right all the time even though I stopped listening to podcasts hours ago.
Something in the chain of applications and updates added this. Perhaps it was an update from you, perhaps it's podcast addict that's using another structure, perhaps it's android 15. dunno, see above. I deactivated media controls for now. Will see if this helps.
