I assume this is because there may not be sufficient storage on the watch itself, nor the phone, and you don't want to drop potentially important data!
My understanding is that all the data (apps, notifications, etc.) on the watch effectively sits in a cache, which pulls from the phone which is just a secondary cache of all your stuff in their cloud. This removes storage as a limitation. Then it just becomes a matter of ensuring your most pertinent data is in the right caches.
I agree however that it would be nice for Pebble to explain how they protect your personal data in their cloud. Hopefully they don't mine/sell it.
- roblabla 10y agoSure, but it should be possible to only keep the data on your phone, and not let it leak all the way to the pebble cloud. It's a bit of a strange decision to force people to use their cloud :|.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoYeah. Personally I don't care that much about what they're doing with the data on their cloud, but it seems weird that my watchapp (or a companion app) needs to talk to the Internet at large to push pins onto the watch timeline. Doubly weird because I hoped to use it for pushing data generated by my phone, and there's no reason this shouldn't work completely off-line.
