My BIP fell apart (the screen popped off). Was relatively easy to re-glue. It's a common issue.

But I was most fascinated to see the hardware inside. It's crazy how miniature it is when the actual body/face of the watch is detached.

I actually stopped wearing it simply because I found even the basic notifications I had set were affecting my brain -- an issue with any smartwatch, not just the BIP.

One cool hack I worked out was combining MacroDroid + BIP to trigger any phone action (Intent). So, you can use the BIP as a remote trigger for your camera, to start/stop music, send an SMS, etc. I added a tutorial to Reddit a while back but can find it if you're interested.
