I think Pebble benefitted a ton from being the first company in the space. There were definitely a ton of hiccups with the original Pebble watch. There was barely a store and when the store did come into being it was buggy as hell. The hardware design decisions have always been pretty great though. Even today, I'd probably take the original Pebble over an Apple watch or anything from Android wear for practicality.
