Title: The new Pebble watch is closer than you think
Post by: Redaktion on March 17, 2025, 18:49:22
Eric Migicovsky is bringing back the Pebble smartwatch, and it appears the new wearable may get unveiled soon. The upcoming watch will share many of its features including its design with the 2013 Pebble smartwatch, but it is also expected to have some new tricks.

Can't wait!
Long time coming!
My favorite watch, even 8 years after the last update. So much better than other watches.
Super fast, always on screen, can see it best in the sun, week battery, physical buttons, awesome ecosystem and the timeline os is amazing.
Can't wait to see what type he is planning on making!

This guy eric migizoyski is dead to me since he pretty much screwed over the compact phone he said he was going to make.

It was supposed to come out in 2024 and now this, I even saw a picture of the phone and advertisement for it.
It gets my blood boiling just thinking about it.

RIP compact phones again...

I understand your point of view, I'd like a small phone too and I was looking forward to his version. There is so much that it would have taken to get that out the door and starting a phone company isn't an easy task. Not to mention to get the phone cheap enough while also being high end specs requires a lot of people to buy it up front.

The reason I feel like this is going to be different is because this hardware is low end and assumingly cheap and he already did this before. They have the os and it's already been up and running on test hardware.

I understand the frustration, but I think this is a completely different thing. Hopefully he delivers and creates a sustainable company so you can join in after everything is running and proven.

It's so frustrating man all that's left are these behemoth slaps of metal and glas.
And then came this guy making a big deal out of this how he loves compact phones and was going to make one himself if now else is going to and blablabla ...

I just don't understand the whole situation here i thought he was different.

Also i hate it when grown a** people say they are going to do something and like little children don't do it... 

Anyway i am just disappointed and frustrated but there's nothing i can do about it.
