pebble stopped making watches years ago
I loved my Pebble watch so much! I actually still have it, but finally gave it up when they stopped supporting it. I still have it, in my curio case.
You probably already know this but you can still use it using rebble.io
I used rebble for quite a while—super kudos to those folks—but eventually gave it up. The battery life was finally showing signs of loss and my wife had already made the switch to Apple Watch when her Pebble died.
I’m kind of surprised rebble was allowed to continue this long after FitBit bought then killed Pebble. I know they said rebble could exist, but IIRC, there was some hinting it wouldn’t be for too much longer. Glad they either forgot about it or just let it be.
Google bought FitBit and even did an update to the Pebble app last year to make a 64-bit version of the Pebble app so it would work on new devices. Guess they really didn't want Pebble added to the killed by Google list!
That’s surprisingly wholesome news from Google. Thanks for updating me!
