Excited (cautiously) about this. Loved my Pebble Time and was gutted when 1) Pebble bit the dust, and 2) my Pebble vanished down that black hole things like small devices and the other sock invariably go down. If this happens, I hope they can keep the revived Pebbles just smart enough and rebuild the app ecosystem. Best of luck, folks. I'm cheering you on from the sidelines!
- bigiain 2y agoAlso cautious. Extremely cautions. I got rug pulled by "the pebble team" the first time, leaving me with 3 watches they effectively bricked.. Not gonna sign up for that again. (I got a refund on my last Pebble order. When the money showed up I drunk-ebayed a 2nd hand ~40 year old mechanical watch. I now have about 20 wind up or mechanical auto winding watches. I do have a few chinese ~$40 "smart watches" that do an OK job of notifications on my wrist, and a somewhat questionable job of heartrate and blood pressure monitoring, and one that produces totally random numbers for blood glucose reading whether it's on my wrist or not. I almost never wear any of those. I've got a Watchy kit, and open source epaper ESP32 watch, but I've had it maybe a year and haven't found the enthusiasm to assemble it.)
- billybuckwheat 2y agoTrue. I used it after Pebble went away -- Gadgetbridge helped extend the watch's life a few more years. I bought a PineTime as a sort of replacement for my Pebble Time about 18 months ago. An OK watch and, as one blogger I read noted, it's just smart enough.
- hoherd 2y agoI never had a pebble. Also, I was really skeptical of the Flipper Zero, but my curiosity finally got the best of me and I bought one. I love their app ecosystem and the whole experience of using it. If Pebble 2 has that kind of UX, it's going to be really awesome.
