Based on my experience with their invented proprietary "language" based on Java (with a busted barely-working toolchain) I'm not confident that a lot of thought has gone into doing things sustainably. It has the feeling of being held together with tape and bubblegum wrappers; that the native device and SDKs are a burden to be overcome rather than an empowering interface. I wasn't surprised that they went down during Jim Walmsley's solo Hardrock 100 FKT. I am shocked (but not exactly surprised) that they are still down 24 hours later. I loved the idea of ConnectIQ, and really really wanted them to succeed, but the crippled $500 watch on my wrist will almost certainly be replaced by another brand when its time comes.
