Google recently open sourced Pebble and today, Repebble has put some of the watches up for preorder.

Wearing a Pebble Time steel right now, and I'm cautiously optimistic for this.

Pebble time 2

Just got this to talk to my phone, gadget wraps carbon and clear screen protector. All I need now is to find out how to change the watch face.

Of all possible names, they're really using "Core 2 Duo"? I feel like anyone who has been following tech long enough would immediately think of the Intel processor when hearing that name.

Where’s my round?

I backed the original pebble on kickstarter and it’s what got me into smart watches. Happy they’re coming back and that they’re open source.

Edit: if I’m remembering correctly wasn’t there some server that the original pebble used that shut done that ended up knee-capping it? Wonder if there’s anything server-side being used here that could do the same.

I recently did out my old 401B after the screen fell off my Galaxy Active2. It charged right up and still lasts about a week.

Finding a new band was a PITA because of the weird segmented hinge bit but one person was selling diver bands for it on Amazon (I think it was Amazon)... Really not bad for a watch from a decade ago.

Edit: Yes, you can still use them without the OG servers being up, look up 'Rebble' (rebble.io)
