Key Takeaways
I've customized all the settings as much as possible to have it not auto-turn on when you raise your arm, removed all the apps from the "smart stack," turned off "Auto-Launch Live Activities," turned off scroll crown to enable smart stack, and followed a bunch of other online tutorials on how to get rid of it and the damn thing still pops up ALL THE TIME. It's really obnoxious I will be in meetings and the stupid smart stack will self-launch and be buzzing me and distracting it's incredibly infuriating there is no way to remove it entirely.
I've followed the instructions in all of these threads and it still self-launches!

The hardware is well described, the watch firmware is open source @ https://github.com/coredevices/PebbleOS, the companion mobile app is also now open source @ https://github.com/coredevices/mobileapp. It works with GadgetBridge and microPebble.
I've been using a Pebble since the original one, currently with a Pebble 2 Duo on my wrist and Pebble has yet to be dethroned for me.
