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 miss my pebble watch. best alarm I ever had. battery was great so you didn't have to charge at night, so you could sleep with it on; and it peacefully vibrates to wake you up gently, so great.

The pebble is still my favorite smart watch ever, the escreen and the long battery has not been beaten! I still have mine and still works!

I purchased one when it came up. I think there were “smart” watches before it, and it came as an alternative for long battery duration, which was amazing, and also focused in only important stuff to notify. I think it failed because the lack of all the bloat.

I loved my Pebbles (red and Time) so much. I've moved on to mechanical watches but it was one of my all-time favorites.

Holy blast from the past. I adored my Pebble Time Steel. When the battery wore I out I switched to a Fitbit Versa but it just wasn't the same. Sold it and went back to "dumb" watches. The Pebble really was something special.
