Why Pebble?

Always-on e-paper screen (it’s reflective rather than emissive. Sunlight readable. Glanceable. Not distracting to others like a bright wrist)
Long battery life (one less thing to charge. It’s annoying to need extra cables when traveling)
Simple and beautiful user experience around a core set of features (telling time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleep/step tracking)
Buttons! (to play/pause/skip music on my phone without looking at the screen)
Hackable (apparently you can’t even write your own watchfaces for Apple Watch? That is wild. There were >16k watchfaces on the Pebble appstore!)

Yesterday, Pebble watch software was ~95% open source. Today, it’s 100% open source. You can download, compile and run all the software you need to use your Pebble. We just published the source code for the new Pebble mobile app!

Pebble Appstore now has a publicly available backup and supports multiple feeds, providing long term reliability through decentralization. We’ve launched our own feed and Developer Dashboard.

Pebble Time 2 schedule update (aiming to begin shipping in January, with most arriving on wrists in March/April)

New Tick Talk episode #4 is up, with Pebble Time 2 demos!

This was the best outcome here. Props to Eric doing the right thing.

This is a good thing, and I am still worried about how things will end up with Rebble. I am glad the app will let you use any app store that implements the API. This was my preferred model.

Still hasn't published the APK 💀

I canceled my order because he told me it wouldn't be published outside of Play Store 😡

Loving my new pebble, 57% after 9 days. Brings me back.

One of the few projects that make me smile.

I have a Pebble from like 6 years ago that just got too slow to bother using. Would I be able to load in a lightweight OS because of this?
