I was quite a fan of Pebble, but was not able to get it when it launched.

I had Amazfit Bip for multiple years until it finally broke.

After trying Android Wear, battery life if very bad, I am looking for alternatives.

Is there any modern alternative to Pebble with all basic functions, such as eink display, battery life, notifications or call muting, but it also could reply to messages/notifications?

The face fell off of mine, and the band snapped. The face was put back in with super glue and has been holding just fine for two years, and the band was replaced with a metal one which will last forever.

How did yours break?

Mine broke same as yours. I was in a bath and the face fell off. Drying did not help. I had it over 2 years. RIP Amazfit.
