    Man if I ever get a smartwatch again this is where I’m headed. I love my little Casio’s though.

    I hope they make a one or two more options aesthetically. I think their current design is a good design, but really not my personal taste. I’d love to see another option or two as time goes on if its financially feasible for them!

    This is sold by the same guy that created Pebble and then sold and killed it screwing the entire community, right? And it’s the same guy that later sold messaging app based on breaking e2e encryption that worked for like a week before being killed by Apple? Do I remember this correctly? I think I will pass, even with screws.

      Ran out of money, went belly up, and sold the software assets to Fitbit so they could refund all the Kickstarter orders they couldn’t fulfill, that guy.

      Difference is that this time he is doing the watches with a 5 man team, not a bloated 100+ employee company with investors breathing down their necks, and the software is fully open source. Even released the Pebble 2 Duo hardware designs as a reference for others wanting to make a PebbleOS watch.

      Haha, you remember the past! I guess we all learned our lesson about supporting products from companies that screw us over. Cheers to avoiding the same mistake twice!
