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!)

It definitely is a startup and frankly might just be a complete cash grab. I miss my pebble but are there any reasons to trust this new endeavor?

You don’t trust it’s self funded? What could the scam be if people are already receiving hardware? Owner also seems to be doing a good job meeting concerns about the longevity of the product support if the company doesn’t survive (open sourcing, working with rebble, etc).
