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.
