Good Idea, got a tiny-tip-touch-pen right here.
The metal ball is the actual touch point. Basically the attached video shows the options screen. Tap on "Apps" will open the "System" Screen. Will happily do more debugging.
It's not the 3-4mm i have above, that is probably the fat-finger-on-tiny-display problem. -

LCDs work on the principle of subtractive color
I guess what NoMusicTuesdays wants to say is, that physically LCD is a light covered by coloured filters that reduce the amount of light passing through, so physically speaking it's a substractive light technology. (Please correct me if I am wrong!)
Nevertheless. Displays usually are driven with "rgb technology" (meaning that the software controlling the display expects whatever inputs it received to be in RGB values). (Also I don't know, where I am going with this now...)

I was somewhat suprised QAlarm was still there. I decided to ditch the alarm altogether as the BangleJS2 does not seem to be loud enough. The pebble steel time was enough to wake me when i put it on the glas plate, but the bangleJS2 is lighter and the virbration motor is softer, so that does not work for me.

I will certainly be a Kickstarter when the BJ3 is ready.
I ... don't think BJ is the best shorthand for the BangleJS 🙄
with a combination of online meeting tools / screen sharing, and the Web IDE relay, you can probably still teach them remotely?
They are not that technically interested yet, but the idea that something they do makes it onto a physical device in the real world they can interact with is captivating. They don't really have a concept of "everything is designed and procuded by someone". The physical "I can touch that" part is quite important for their motivation.

Dragging that out of the nethers.
I have also been a Pebble user. After my pebble showed severe battery issues I found BangleJS2.
I guess I'll have to echo what most people already said:
I miss/would like/have to criticise- the 3+1 buttons
- the vibration motor seems very weak to me
- having to disconnect from Gadgetbridge to be able to get the app manager
- waterproofness
I really like:
- hackability/openness (I am starting to teach my nephew+niece) a little programming, currently with a Calliope Mini, but will look into the BangleJS for that as well (only problem here is, that i don't live close to them).
- standard watchbands
- always on-display (although I'm used to that from the Pebble)
- the low weight (It's so much lighter than the pebble)
What would be my priorities for future iteration?
- water proofness
- buttons!!!
- always on-display
- heart rate sensor
. - barometer (I guess this is an edge case thing, some people will want it, but for most people this will be more of a toy than anything else.)
- the 3+1 buttons

Every morning, sometimes also during the day, my BangleJS2 will show
- "Get to X" (X being an integer) at the top.
- another integer in the center, which seems to change a little sometimes (incrementing, decrementing)
Does anyone know what this could be?
What can I do to debug?To my knowledge I have no health monitoring (etc) active.
- "Get to X" (X being an integer) at the top.

Works like a charm. Calibration App showed sth like -10 for vertical after 20 crosses.
