For watch enthusiasts to discuss everything related to watches and horology.
I think the pebble was one of the first big smart watches, and here is a picture of mine paying tribute to my other hobby, retro computing.
I lost this watch on a skiing trip. Today I am more fascinated by mechanical watches, but I still miss this guy. I think I had the Apple Watch nailed a solid year before Apple. Today I am more fascinated by mechanical watches, but if they still made these I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
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 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.
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.
Does it play Doom?
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!
I miss my pebble to this day! Was such a great smart watch!
Beautiful
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.
