This is Eric's new company, Core Devices, the spiritual successor to Pebble. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] podperson@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Ah - you’re right (seems to be “pebble OS” but not Google hardware). It’s still all over my feeds today though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* Yeah, Pebble watches have a pretty loyal fanbase (including myself), and the r/pebble subreddit has been active for years despite the fact that they've been defunct for almost a decade. Google open-sourced the OS in January, Eric made announcements about creating a new company to make new PebbleOS-based watches, then yesterday his website (link in this post) started a countdown. Now here we are. I'm going to wait and see how these new watches fare in terms of reliability. I wasn't a fan of the Pebble 2 and it's issues, but that's supposedly been resolved. These new units use essentially the same design, but with better materials and reinforcements. permalink fedilink source parent
