I can confirm. Have been using this with swipe library for a while now and it made me finally ditch gboard 👍

Doesn't really look good:

I also thought about getting a Fossil Hybrid as it's supported by Gadgetbridge. I'd miss sleep tracking though and I'm still too much of a Pebble fan to let go. I have 3 PTS in good condition and one ugly scratched PTS with mushy buttons for parts. Have been eyeing a PTR but I too would be annoyed by having to charge it every 2 days so I think I'll refrain from that. I'm not really good at repairing things but if one of my PTS fails I'll at least try to replace the broken part.

I had the same problem. I was fed up with my Amazfit GTS 3 and pairing a Mi band 6 wasn't possible when I tried. For now it made me turn back to my trusty Pebble Time Steel (left wrist) and an oldish Mi band 3 (right wrist) which I intended to put on eBay but fortunately never did. Gadgetbridge is connected to both simultaneously. With the Pebble I can even mark tasks (in LoopHabit) as done and have as many reminders as I want. The Mi is only there for pulse tracking. I'm happy with this combination but I can of course understand that not everybody would like this as one has to charge two devices. Edit: the Mi 3 was the last device without encrypted server side pairing if I remember that correct.
