I can only hope this new open source project takes off. It was a great watch.
Genuinely curious, I was read that the Pebble was so great. Why so? What about made everyone like them so much?
You have to keep in mind that the tech at the time was pretty revolutionary, but dated now. The e-ink display was legible in the brightest daylight and it had a battery life of 7-10 days depending on the model. I liked the minimalist styling of it, and hope they continue with a future model.
I've always been curious to know how it would have evolved if it hadn't been killed off. A newer version would hopefully take advantage of color e-ink displays and have some of the features current smart watches have. But honestly, they could make the Pebble Steel again with updated parts and I'd buy it in a second.
