I think the pebble was one of the first big smart watches, and here is a picture of mine paying tribute to my other hobby, retro computing.

I lost this watch on a skiing trip. Today I am more fascinated by mechanical watches, but I still miss this guy. I think I had the Apple Watch nailed a solid year before Apple. Today I am more fascinated by mechanical watches, but if they still made these I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

    I’ve got somewhat mixed feelings about the Pebble. It was great for its time, but it didn’t look that great - esp. the later version with limited colors and huge bezel. Also, I could never be bothered to start development - it felt too much like going back to early MS-DOS days (C, limited memory, …). And finally, there was this graceless death in the middle of a Kickstarter to a version that seemed like a better compromise than the ones before.
