Really love what the watch offers, but the price is quite damn steep
Yep, back in the days the early bird price was $169 and MSRP was supposed to be $199. And now we’re looking at $225 pre-order price.
Every single pebble I had would last 6 months before screen tearing would make everything unviewable. I wonder what new issues this will have.
Whaaaat?! I’ve never had that issue and have a half dozen pebbles
It was a well known issue and happened to more than half of all pebbles. If you simply search “pebble screen tear” you’ll find whole forums and websites and different solutions to try and fix it.
I’ve had 3 pebble originals, a pebble steel, and a pebble time. All had screen tearing after a few months.
Me neither. I had 2.
Oof, I actually really liked the square screen design of the preliminary images. It had a much cooler retro sci-fi vibe to me previously, now it looks a bit forgettable and basic.
I want to know the thickness, because I might just cancel based off this redesign. Which is unusual for me but ya, I’m not digging it.
Same, I just pre ordered one the other day and now with this redesign I am considering canceling it. It’s not that bad for me, I just really loved the old design. But I do love they are adding more features, I was bummed the time 2 wasn’t going to have a compass.
Did you watch the video where the creator talks about adding more features? I also got the ick from that lol. He talked about throwing in a cheap compass module and not being able to promise how good it was and then said “you’re welcome”. Maybe I’m being a Karen lol (oh god I should have died a hero), but I didn’t like that whole exchange. If I recontextualize it to “a friend of mine shooting the shit about his project” it’s not bad at all - just my lazy friend complaining about some feedback. But the fact that it’s the founder making his supposed baby and having no interest in making the most jam packed, high quality product, makes me a bit upset.
There’s that Kickstarter knife going on right now, and watching their video where they’re obsessed with putting a whole bunch of bullshit into this knife and doing it elegantly - idk… Felt like a stark contrast from that to this “your welcome for a cheap compass module” attitude.
Idk. I buy things based off of vision and belief in execution right now and this guy makes a slim epaper watch vision feel like a vision of money bags instead. And now the execution misses the mark for me. Vibes are all off. RIP, might get one after reviews now but ya writing this out has convinced me to cancel.
I hope it still slaps for everyone and it’s successful. I want more epaper everywhere - love the tech.
I’m actually glad I ordered the 2 Duo, not at all fond of this new design.
I think it looks sexy, but to each their own. I still don’t think I’ll upgrade till pebble 3
There is a round version, but it isn’t in production.
I actually like the rectangular design they had before
I would like to get my hands on one of these. They look amazing. However, with the current state of affairs in companies right now, I’m going to wait until it comes out, and see what the complains are. If I still want it then, I’ll get it, even if it costs more.
For now, the best fully functional option I’ve found that (sort-of) respects privacy are Garmin watches,so I’m using a Venu 3.
The blue/ silver is very striking, I’m excited!
the curvy sides kind of kill it for me lmao. I don’t mind the rounding in the corners but the fact that the watch’s sides are curved know kills the aesthetic
What about battery duration?
I think they mentioned 20-30 days in their original announcement.
