I was an original Pebble backer, but since moved to an Apple Watch. Though it's not Pebble's fault, the lack of proper iOS integration (iMessage, HealthKit, etc.) is really a bummer after using Apple's complete package. I wish my Apple Watch had some of the features that Pebble does (water resistance, long battery life), but the Apple ecosystem lock-in is a powerful force...
I wish Eric & the rest of Pebble the best of luck-- they really are one of only three viable smartwatch platforms, which is pretty incredible for such a small company. It'll be interesting to see how they can fit the core into the activity monitor space as well.
- fredsir 10y agoAlthough Apple doesn't, the Internet claims Apple Watch is water resistant even for swimming.
- andrewmunsell 10y agoYeah, it's more of a peace of mind thing. The new Pebble is water resistant to 30m, which is really, really deep water. Though I could probably swim with my Apple Watch, it's not something I particularly want to risk since it's not an advertised "feature".
