Pebble was everything that was right about connected watches. It wasn’t a spy. It didn’t nag you to walk around. It just did what it did and that was passive notifications. I had two, but neither survived very long before the screens would flip out. Everything else that came along afterwards was definitely not my cup of tea and I went back to mechanical and automatic watches.

I miss my pebble watch. best alarm I ever had. battery was great so you didn’t have to charge at night, so you could sleep with it on; and it peacefully vibrates to wake you up gently, so great.

I purchased one when it came up. I think there were “smart” watches before it, and it came as an alternative for long battery duration, which was amazing, and also focused in only important stuff to notify. I think it failed because the lack of all the bloat.

The pebble is still my favorite smart watch ever, the escreen and the long battery has not been beaten! I still have mine and still works!

Does it play Doom?

Beautiful

I’ve got somewhat mixed feelings about the Pebble. It was great for its time, but it didn’t look that great - esp. the later version with limited colors and huge bezel. Also, I could never be bothered to start development - it felt too much like going back to early MS-DOS days (C, limited memory, …). And finally, there was this graceless death in the middle of a Kickstarter to a version that seemed like a better compromise than the ones before.

I miss my pebble to this day! Was such a great smart watch!

I loved my Pebbles (red and Time) so much. I’ve moved on to mechanical watches but it was one of my all-time favorites.
