Over 16k people still use a Pebble smartwatch
That few?<p>I wasn't a huge fan of Pebble, the company - they didn't sell replacement parts, for instance (the watch for geeks? yeah, sure).<p>For some crazy reason, though, to this day, this watch is still almost the only one that gets such a basic thing right: Telling the damn time.<p>The formula is as simple as it is unreplicated:<p>- Always telling the time<p>- Good battery life<p>- Buttons<p>Why nobody else makes such a watch is a mystery to me. The Amazfit Bip comes close, but it requires touch interaction and doesn't look as nice as the Pebble Time Steel. It's also supported by GadgetBridge though and also does heart rate tracking while having much better battery life (while being smaller!). When my Bip broke after a few months I bought another (5 years old at this point!) Pebble and am pretty happy with it. I could use some heart rate tracking, though.
