I love the animation when you click "No" on "Do you want a new Pebble?". So extra.
The feature I use the most on my smartwatch is paying. So if they can bring contactless payments to their new Pebble they have my attention, otherwise it's useless to me.
This guy is now behind two of the products that I wish the most: the Small Android Phone and the Pebble watch. I hope they succeed! :)
Do you have a link to the 'Small Android Phone'?
Love this! After my Pebble I tried an e-ink "Watchy" from SQFMI ( https://watchy.sqfmi.com/ ) thinking that the battery life would be great but the battery only lasted a few days. I've been wearing a Bangle 2 ( https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2 ) which feels closest to recreating my Pebble. It has super long battery life and feels a lot like my Pebble did, but doesn't have the polish of the pebble UI and animations…
I've never worn a pebble, but I also have a banglejs 2 and I really love the watch for it's hackability. I've written my own watchface and a couple of other apps and made changes to a number of existing apps, it's really simple because you can always test your code changes live on the watch while keeping it on your wrist. There's an IDE that connects to it using Bluetooth and the code can be modified during runtime L…

You could cut out the chip from a debit card and glue it to the back of the pebble?
Still doable though, as demonstrated by Bobby Fingers: https://youtu.be/NF4VJJKTjy8?t=825
I am extremely excited for this. It would be amazing if it had wireless charging so it was completely sealed. The battery life on my Pebble was amazing, the customization was great, and I really hope this new iteration works well with iOS to deliver notifications. NFC for unlocking things would be a bonus too of course. But no matter what, I am very excited especially since the OS will be open source.
You can also have waterproof with magnetic pin charging like "magsafe" style (doesn't have to be wireless per se) :)
Ooof, no hardware schematics? Also missing datasheets? This projects seems like a very tall task to me without these fundamental missing pieces. Will Google release them soon or am I looking the the wrong place?
Developing the for the Pebble was a lot of fun. There was a Pebble hack-a-thon recently (recent being 2 years ago) and I finally got around to finishing a project that I started a decade earlier: https://github.com/codaris/pebble-cpp It might even become relevant again! Pebble had an ingenious design for its watch apps. Despite the watch having a limited processor and even more limited RAM, it could accommodate sever…
Can anyone confirm?
