    I backed the original pebble on kickstarter and it’s what got me into smart watches. Happy they’re coming back and that they’re open source.

    Edit: if I’m remembering correctly wasn’t there some server that the original pebble used that shut done that ended up knee-capping it? Wonder if there’s anything server-side being used here that could do the same.

      I recently did out my old 401B after the screen fell off my Galaxy Active2. It charged right up and still lasts about a week.

      Finding a new band was a PITA because of the weird segmented hinge bit but one person was selling diver bands for it on Amazon (I think it was Amazon)… Really not bad for a watch from a decade ago.

      Edit: Yes, you can still use them without the OG servers being up, look up ‘Rebble’ (rebble.io)
