I loved Pebble - I was a fan from the first Kickstarter. I found the devices comfortable (loved the band!) and I think it was a brilliant move to use e-ink on the watches, which saved enormous amounts of battery life. I like to wear my watch all the time (even at night) so it was great to only charge once every few days while at my desk at work. The Pebble Time added the calendar view which was super useful and I really liked where they were going with canned responses and voice-to-text on the mic. There is nothing wrong with a company that makes a niche product - many product businesses started out doing only one thing - I mean hell look at other major watch companies (Swatch, Rolex, etc). I don't know the team personally but I'm sad to see them fold. I felt like while they did not invent the smartwatch, they introduced the smartwatch category to the world.
