Never heard of this until now, but sounds kinda cool. I like that it has an e-paper display.

I'm sure there are plenty of practical reasons to use a smartwatch, but I can't get over the fact that they look like ankle monitors.

Yeah, they're awesome. No smartwatch has come close to beating pebble since pebble inc got bought out by fitbit in 2016

That's exactly what it is, only difference is you wear it voluntarily and its a corporation instead of law enforcement.

Pebble the company is defunct and an open source initiative (Rebble) has brought back all the web services. So yeah, the Pebble is actually one of the most private smartwatch platforms out there lol

I have both a Pebble Time Round (dead now) and a standard Pebble Time.

I run them both through gadgetbtidge with custom firmware (you have to use rebble firmware anyway), so the watch has NO internet access, meaning no spying.

Overall though, as cool as it is, smartwatches are still largely pointless devices. The main benefit they offer is slightly more convenient time and notifications, but even then, getting your phone out is easy.

Still, I dig the nice displays on both of the ones I had.

I got a Pebble Time that I bought second-hand many years ago for cheap. Rebble is pretty great and it was nice to have something so niche. But i don't really use it anymore due to battery problems and a really crappy wrist strap. And it always seemed to have some problems with my phone (iOS is the worst). It was nice while it worked. But I've been thinking of buying those cheap Casio watches someday.

I haven't thought of the Pebble in a long time. Really brings me back.

Dude, i barely got money for a chinese second hand ben 10 digital clock, there is no way i had the money for one of those.
