Has Pebble's build quality gotten better? I havw the original, it wasn't made very well. Had the sticky button issue, they replaced it. Then the vibration motor died in the replacement, basically making it useless as far as a smartwatch goes (since I mainly use it for notifications). They wouldn't replace it, since the replacement only had a 90 day warranty. Of course I don't wear it anymore, I would have tried to repair it but it's impossible to open.
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence if a company doesn't stand behind its products. Even Google does a better job.
- phlyingpenguin 10y agoThey had a few really common problems with the original, notably screen tearing due to a bad connection inside of the device. They replaced my original twice with no questions asked. I upgraded to a Time not that long ago and it's been solid. I haven't heard of a whole lot of problems with anything but the originals.
- Daneel_ 10y agoI had the tearing issue with my original. I upgraded to a pebble steel rather than replace it (international shipping isn't worth it), and the quality has been second to none. A year and a half on, the leather band is slightly scuffed, but otherwise it feels and looks completely new. The vibrate motor is much quieter and smoother compared to the original one as well.
- dave2000 10y ago90 days? Wow. With stuff getting more and more cheaply made these days it doesn't make sense to assume that anything will last longer than the very minimum duration they're legally responsible for it. I'd be unwilling to spend very much on something that will only last 90 days.
