I miss having pebble watches, they hit a sweet spot of lifetime vs functionality. That said, what is this team going to do to avoid crashing and burning the way the original pebble did? Specifically I refer to the debacle around the pebble 2 variants and the 1st round pebble core that totally got the ball dropped on it.
I realized a long time ago that I don't actually want a smartwatch, but this _is_ making me very nostalgic
The "having a baby"/"having a baby bok choi party" attempt to sell me on the larger screen did not work, but it did make me laugh.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Gross and net profit are each their own concept: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/101314/what-are-dif...
What they call "gross profit" is not profit , by definition. It's certainly useful to track $revenue-$cost_of_goods, but you can't call that profit. People are free to use words incorrectly, but they shouldn't expect anyone else to go along with them.
If we're talking about profit from the lens of a unit sale, we're usually talking about gross profit and gross margin.
I'm pleased the pricing is so low. I did some math and if they're making 10k of these (not clear if that's each or all together), there's not a ton of money to be made. Assuming $100 average profit, that's a $2M for 20k watches. Given the work opportunities that the founder and other employees have, that's not a lot of money for them to make in a year, and it comes with significant risk. Basically seems like this is…
I'm highly skeptical that they will sell 20k units at that price point.
> "30 day battery life" I've done the math and according to my calculations that's approximately 30X more battery life than an Apple Watch. Impressive!
I did a one week test drive of Apple Watch a year and a half ago and I could barely get a day out of it. That alone was a deal breaker for me.
