Man, imagine if pebble sold to Citizen. We would probably still have their fundamental tech and ui in the marketplace. Nothing has met it's *blind* utility since, and no touch driven interface can.

I still wear a pebble to this day, rotating between 5 separate Pebble Times and two different Time Steels. All still have a longer battery life than any applewatch save the super chonky one, and they are all much slimmer.

Honestly a Pebble does everything a Watch in the modern day needs to do. It has notifications for every app I use, it sets timers, stopwatch, literally any sort of watch face you could desire, and in it's heyday several on smartphone watch face designers. You can wear any sort of strap you desire.
It's readable in sunlight. It had a baclkigt that can blind you in the darkness if you set it so (the setting is appropriately named "Blinding").

They're also just full of charm. The Quiet Time mode (do not disturb) flashes a tiptoeing mouse. When you mute an app's notifications, an ostrich puts it's head in the ground. When you clear your notifications it plays a paper shredder animation, which is surprisingly smooth for a display of its power draw.

I have an android so I can sideload the application whenever I change phone.
If you're on Android, I would definitely say that a pebble is worth it today, but you have to be comfortable with a little but of hackiness, as the pebble main servers are down forever :(
However, there is a community project, Rebble! They have replacement servers you can subscribe to for things like weather, and they have an updated firmware that redirects the app and watchface/app store to a beckup they host for free.

If you can find one for sale, especially an uninterested private party that has just had one in a drawer for a few years, you can get a pretty good deal these days, maybe $50 on the cheap end shipped. I would personally buy one in good condition for $100 with no hesitation.

i’ve daily driven various pebble watches for the last 6 years, and it’s been amazing. Love this thing. I get notification previews, time, and music control, that’s all the i need.

We all miss Pebble. Its really strange how NO ONE ELSE tried to make somethint like thisb

[ManuFCBHCF]

I still have my old pebble time and I bought an old pebble classic few days ago, it's crazy that this old technology is better than a lot of new smartwatches, thanks a lot to rebble people and to all the people who still creating new apps

I'm still wearing and finding my Pebble Watch to be quite useful. I have 3 of them.

Mine pebble time steel is still working and im loving it. The greatest thing is charging it once a week. For those who have had one back when pebble went out of business it was a nervous time. Fans of this watch built the pebble rebel app which extended the life of the watch.
I have used it along with a $30 pair of wireless earbuds and get a clean and simple look and approach to a smartwatch.

i still own and use my peeble in 2023. :) Still have lots of functionality especially with the Rebble

My old Pebble Time died recently & for me there's nothing out there that quite fills the gap- although I find the Watchy open source hardware idea intriguing.

Dug my pebble time out of my grave, I used to use the buttons to control my earbuds in class way back in middle school. Im graduated now lol

[ZakKoromhaz]

I threw out my pebble time as a kid because of my dad and he kept telling that I was addicted to the iPad even though he smokes and drinks and that decision was the worst I’ve ever done I still wish after 4 years to have my pebble time back

[rcdude]

I’m going to go back to my old pebble 2

[TheHarshil]

Hey, can you share a link to the watch band you have in this video? It looks great!

[GamersJoyRide]

I still have my Time and I absolutely love it 🤩

[sidiqprince]

Bro, can i use pebble time with ios in 2024?

[robbdavis]

Coincidentally I bought a Pebble Time watch a few days ago.

I had one when I was a student but lost it. Certain a housemate nabbed it.

Any idea what the best app is for it on Android?

[NewYorkGamer]

do you know pebble made an knock off Apple Watch called pebble rise

[gregdarkjedi]

How do you get it still working wiithout the app ? Mine is stuck on « sos mode » 😢

[Hersses-tech]

Where can I found the App for pairing?

[Krishnapurty]
