Or "Milking content out of the old dry Pebble well"

I loved Pebble back in the day, and Eric is a great guy and friend to entrepreneurs trying to build cool things.

I do wonder how a modern revival of Pebble will compete from a product perspective within the current landscape. Obviously there's the high-end Apple Watches, but there's also incredibly cheap and long battery life products from China that you can see on Aliexpress and similar. Fitness tracking is another related niche that seems oversaturated, unless you do something really unique in biometrics sensing.

So it seems like a hard market to get back into, curious where they take things.

I think they have a very clear niche: nerdy techies (like me).

The question is indeed if it's a big enough market to carry to the company. I hope so.

The key value of Pebble to me was its incredible C SDK that made it super easy to write custom apps for it. I remember way back I got full turn-by-turn navigation working on it.

Got my duo a few weeks ago and my battery lasted about 3 weeks before needing a recharge. It does everything I need. Great little smartwatch

Does anyone know whether more than one device can connect to a Pebble watch at the same time? I'm thinking using it with your phone but also sending notifications from your laptop.
