MODERATORS
I disagree with calling it "dumb". it was perfect for it's niche. I want a watch to show the time, basic notifications, media control... not send an email.
Pebble always on screen and long battery life was perfect for a wearable. all other smartwatches are basically miniaturized phones that do way too much in a screen that can't handle it. If something is easier to do on the phone, it does not need to work on a smartwatch.
Hopefully the new pebbles are good, I am worried that the new one's touch screen will make a touch based UI, which suck on tiny screens,
