I really wonder if the literal jedis at Fitbit, who bought Pebble, have included something in an update or something.
There is still a community of Pebble users out there, since Pebble watches are far better than anything on the market, and Fitbit aren't happy with that - they want everyone to upgrade to one of their shitty fitness trackers.

it's possible - apple recently made the news because they were intentionally lowering the clock speed in older model iphones based on battery condition (ie. phones with poor battery condition would run slower for longer), no reason why they wouldn't do the opposite

If your device is at the 2 year mark or older, you should expect some battery life deterioration. After 500 charging cycles, the typical lithium-ion battery loses ~20% of it's total capacity. That's significant. Coupled with OS update pushes from the manufacturer/carrier, you may see a huge difference in how it was when you got it new.
The solution? Replace the battery.

Pebble was one of the first "smart" watches, pre-Apple watch, pre-Fitbit, pre-Android Wear. Think of it like a Tomagotchi.

Haha.
I don't need no fucking smart watch.
I have a phone.

Just like with phones it not easy to put it back together and keep waterproofness.
