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!)

Oof. I cant afford to casually visit this community.

I mean, consider this. The Pebble Time lasted 10 years… well more realistically 6, but I did use it for 10 years.

Compared with and Apple Watch which will be dead in like 2-3 years. The extra is worth it.

I agree that it is great. That is precisely why I can't afford to visit. If it were mediocre, I would not have to avoid it. Unfortunately no amount of greatness in a watch will put more money in my weekly budget.

Especially after you pick out all the ones you want, of course.
