I wish them the absolute best of luck and hope they stay firmly in their niche.
I'll be sticking with my mechanical and dumbquartz watches personally, got more than enough gadgets by now..

as much as I loved the original Pebbles (and love the design of these too), I think basically the world has moved on... for this kind of money, I am buying a Garmin watch with GPS, HR, etc. but I hope there will be a group of enthusiasts and wish all the luck to the company with sales. more options are always better :)

How are they allowed to give it the exact same name as an Intel CPU line?
I've got a Core 2 Duo around here somewhere...
Honestly, makes me want it more. Are our brains broken?
That price tag though. 👎
Man I might have to get one of these.....I don't mind my FitBit, but since being gobbled by Google, I don't need another data point for Google to feed off.
I really wanted a Pebble when they first came out, and then REALLY wanted one when they were selling for next to nothing when FitBit bought the company.
I love a smart watch, but hate the daily charging. Im currently wearing a fossil hybrid which has an eink screen under the hands, and I love that it lasts 30 days on a charge, but wish it did more.
So I ordered a Core 2 Duo. I might still cancel the order before December, but no other watch does what I want, and this is the closest.
Ꝏꝏ love the white one . That watch faceeeeee 🤍🤍
I kinda wanted a Pebble for a while, might as well get one now
I was really excited, but the price is steep compared to the Garmin watches. I currently own an instinct 2. That one gets me between 15 to 18 days of battery and that’s in winter time. In the summer it is longer due to the small solar panel in it. I guess I’ll wait for the reviews and take some nights of sleep on them
