Aaand preordered. The Pebble Steel was one of the best smartwatches I've ever had. I loved that thing and I'm still pissed that I sold the steel a few years ago.
Absolute best. None of the Fitbits I've had were better. None of them detect when I've woken correctly in order to enable/disable notifications.
I've been procrastinating for weeks about setting up a dev environment to help contribute to the codebase, but I didn't procrastinate at all in preordering a Core-2. My Pebble Time might be the last piece of consumer tech that I was both excited for and a satisfied customer of.
How are they allowed to give it the exact same name as an Intel CPU line?
I've got a Core 2 Duo around here somewhere...
Honestly, makes me want it more. Are our brains broken?
Man I might have to get one of these.....I don't mind my FitBit, but since being gobbled by Google, I don't need another data point for Google to feed off.
That price tag though. 👎
Did they add a heart rate monitor? I know the originals didn't have them. Otherwise Pebble was the perfect smartwatch.
Yes, on the more expensive version.
