    Android keyboard fail edit.
    This may help if they shut their servers down.

    oh joy. Pebble Time for my birthday last month (at my request)
    ah well. I can always put it with my Betamax collection…

    That’s a shame. I really enjoyed my Pebble Time. That said I did recently move on to a Samsung Gear S3 which is just fantastic.

    The following article gives a little bit of hope to the Kickstarter Backers –

    It does mention that Fitbit are purely after the software assets, and the servers + stock (+ Debt) will not be sold off.
    Could mean the servers will stay active?

    Ah fudge, that explains why my warranty replacement hasn’t been sent out.

    “And that leaves Pebble’s loyal customers out in the cold. While Pebble’s Kickstarter note ends on a happy note of gratitude to its many loyal customers, those customers are, in fact, royally screwed.”

    There’s been grumbling on the pebble subreddit. I love my OG Pebble and I am gutted they have gone pop. To me they offered a great package in a smartwatch. I hope they release the software for their servers into the wild, as there is a dev base that wants to keep it alive.

    Another gutted Pebbler here. I’ve got an original and a time, I’ve not had a day without one of them on since December 2014.

    It’s my phone alert, my alarm, music remote, shopping list and my weather forecast, I’ll keep wearing it while it’s working properly but I’m already feeling like it’s pointless. Time to start shopping around I suppose.

    What’s the alarm like on the Fenix 3?

    Disappointed here too. Very happy with my Time so I hope it’ll keep working for a while yet.

    Mind you I have fallen in love with this
