(not sure if pixel watches are allowed but...) Dog what the fuck??? I have never dropped it or thrown it down... I was thinking of glueing it back down but I can't find if this has ever happened to anyone else because online search is borderline useless now.

Mine did the same thing on the screen, bottom housing, and the little metal pads (be careful, there are springs under there you don't want to lose!)

The adhesives weren't made for these temperatures. Threw some B-7000 on it until my pebble watch pre-order makes it

You're gonna love it. Best watch since the original Pebble Time.

Looking forward to it! Was supposed to ship in June but apparently they took more time to enter production than expected.

I checked the repebble site a bit and it seems interesting. I didn't see much on the OS though, can it get notifications or reply to said notifications? And can it be used without the connected phone nearby (with service obv; I forget my phone sometimes)

Jeez. Do you think it's just the heat? That would make sense. I want a Circle, but not if there going to pop like they can't stop

No, it's from the swollen battery.

Those adhesives take more heat to make them fail, or they'd be failing in the US South/Southwest all the time.
