I demand BangleJS3!

I guess you might be able to store pre-compressed data on the flash? But honestly it's not likely to be of a great deal of use being able to replay a few seconds of audio...

Well you could have sidplayer or modplayer app (both C64 and Amiga were slower than Bangle 2!), also speech synthesizer does not need lot of data and the bitrate is lower so could not use that much CPU when encoding

it's not likely to be of a great deal of use being able to replay a few seconds of audio

Navigation directions are quite short samples too.

Still not that much useful/practical I guess.

My top wishes would be:

• 3 or ideally 4 buttons
  
• 64 color display like pebble
  
• waterproof enough to handle light splashes like when washing hands with no problems
  
• good/reliable bluetooth
  
• no sensors that'll make watch thicker(like hr), for me it's better to have a thinner watch
  

• ideally - a bit curved case design for better fit on the hand

• software: maybe some option to reverse the watch interface(like text&images) if someone would like buttons to face another direction(this depends on the layout, if there are 2x2 buttons than it doesn't matter)

• microphone would be nice for voice notes, but not sure how this goes with waterproofing, i mean there should be options for some waterproof membranes but maybe these are too pricey, idk

Thanks, yes that's about where I am with it as well - Bangle.js 2 does have a membrane, and it does seem to work ok - but it's still something you can't really rely on for proper submersion (like swimming).

Heart rate is a hard one for me to add on a custom-designed watch, but I do think it is expected of a wearable at the moment so probably is needed.

maybe some option to reverse the watch interface(like text&images) if someone would like buttons to face another direction

Bangle.js 2 does do this already (well, it allows the screen to be rotated) - check out the LCD page in Settings

Wow, cool, thanks for info❤️

All i wish for you is inner peace, patience and good luck when you'll want to release a new version

All i wish for you is inner peace

Thanks! With two small kids, inner peace is something I could definitely do with more of :)

I'm not convinced inner peace is possible even when your kids are grown up there still worries :)

Its looks to me like 3 buttons is a popular ask. I have to say I much prefer the 1 button design that changes on context eg launcher, back, reset

I think probably more buttons wouldn't hurt - especially in winter it's requested because of issues using a touchscreen with gloves.

Obviously exposing that in software could be more of a problem, but I guess if we had 4 buttons we could have the back button behaving the same way, but then up/down/select which would allow any scrollable lists to be selected by button presses too.

Agreed. I personally far prefer using the touchscreen over buttons when I can, but having more buttons won't hurt anything when I can still use the touchscreen. It will only make the watch more usable with gloves. Having the watch be usable with gloves would be a major improvement and serious advantage over other smartwatches.

More buttons also allows you to do things without having to look at the watch, for example increase the volume or decline a call

Having more buttons is not only desirable when wearing gloves. I use the watch mainly as a sport watch, and for that use case the touch screen is nearly unusable while doing the activity.

I'm a new BangleJS 2 user. I was using a Garmin Instinct watch before. The main things I really miss are (ordered by importance):

• Better GPS. I'm really struggling with the GPS accuracy. I can live with updating the A-GPS data every time I need it, but the accuracy is really bad
  
• Water resistance for swimming/taking a shower
  
• Bigger, brighter display. I don't really need colors
  
• Stronger vibration motor (no need for the buzzer)
  
• Enough buttons to use the watch without touching the screen
