I'm curious as to what people think the future of Pebble is. Would I be a fool for buying a Pebble today with the Moto 360 right around the corner? This isn't rhetoric btw, I'm genuinely curious.
- 6thSigma 13y agoI would wait to see the price and the battery life of the Moto 360. My Pebble lasts me around 5 days. The Samsung smart watch lasts 24 hours and is much more expensive.
- dijit 13y agoMoto 360 only supports Android (from what I can tell) where pebble is compatible with everything. although a touchscreen in a watch might be a great idea if done well.
- InXorWeTrust 13y agoIt's really a matter of personal preference. I haven't been able to find much on the Moto 360 (they seem to be keeping a bunch under wraps(I could be looking in the wrong places though)). But I assume it has a LCD screen. Which is potentially hell for battery life. The Pebble has around a 4-5 day battery life for me. This isn't constant text messages though. Another thing you might want to keep in mind: Moto 360 will only work on Android. This isn't a negative for most people, except for those that might want to get an iPhone in the future. Pebble works with both (for the most part (from what I've heard, I have only actually experienced the Android side)).
