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!)

And what happens when the battery runs out? You just send the ring back to be recycled.

At that price I'm still intrigued, despite the device eventually becoming e-waste. Hopefully when the ring stops working they'll have iterated on a better version with a swappable coin-cell battery or something.
