Earth days?
The price is absurd as well, especially with that warranty.
I’m going to sit and watch how they do for a year before considering buying one. My Apple watch is nearing EOL with the crowns push button only working like 25% of the time, so will be on the lookout for a replacement.
199 is absurd? I'm lost on what other smartwatch with these specs are around this price point. I like it, wish the band was a bit thicker. But more than anything I wish they would make something a bit more fitness focused so I could ditch the apple watch completely. The only reason I even use it anymore is for fitness tracking. The fact android offers no other (somewhat) reasonable privacy focused fitness/health tracking is what's absurd to me.
Garmin?
You could probably pick up a $50 smart watch from AliExpress that does more. But that's not the target audience of this thing at all
Very interested. I like more traditional looking watches.
Looks pretty cool. Think I’ll wait until well after release to check reviews and observe quality control. But maybe someday I’ll pick one up.
Ah yes, the pebble is round. Quite. Indeed.
