Counterpoint: you were always going to fail in the long run without full platform integration that you cannot have. The Apple Watch is a seamless experience and you can't replicate it. Although Google hasn't managed to produce an Android ripoff with any staying power, so maybe there's a market there.
- taeric 4y agoI'm guessing that Google will seem to do everything they can to not have a coherent story here. :( I can only guess what messenger platform they will push on their next phone.
- runlevel1 4y ago2015-04-24: Apple Watch release 2015-05-24: Pebble 2.0 (Pebble Time) release One month to the day. That's some truly unfortunate timing.
- erohead 4y agoAgreed. It was impossible for us to deliver an amazing notification and call experience for iOS users because Apple did not (and still doesn't) expose APIs for sending iMessage, starting calls or talking to Siri.
- diego_moita 4y agoCounter counterpoint: Samsung, Fitbit, Garmin and dozens of other players are still selling smartwatches. The majority of phones in the world do not run iOS, so you can't pair a Apple watch with them. There is a still active market for 2nd hand Pebbles. There are things you can do with a Pebble that you can't do with an Apple Watch (e.g.: use it in a barcode reader, make your own watchface, etc). At this right moment I have a Pebble in my left hand. I don't want to use an iPhone or Apple Watch.
