      Yikes. "Active Pebble watches will work normally for now. Functionality or service quality may be reduced down the road."

      Others are bound to fall too. Hardly a surprise. Smart watches launched just as people stopped wearing watches.

      Couldn't disagree more. Find the Pebble super-useful, not least because of brilliant battery.

          yup you are right! It just worked and did it on 1 charge per week... Very sad

          Just because a company failed doesn't mean the idea was bad. Apple almost went bang once, I recall...

          Mostly because, at the time, their products were good enough. Ditto Pebble

          Of course, you're still using a Nokia 8800 too as you never could remember to charge a device overnight, right?

          Call me old fashioned, but I like a watch to actually stay awake as long as I do.

          You stay awake 36 hours at a stretch? Crikey. Do you like your phone to do 36 hours too?

          36hrs when it's brand new. Give it a year, and that will be 24, then 18 then fucked before home time.

          Just as you do with your phone. For fun, how much battery my watch has left. I put it on at 6.30 today.

          Your watch also cost twice as much as the Pebble and only pairs with iPhones, thus dead to me.

          So you're arguing about the suitability of a product which you can't actually use anyway? Oh Barry, never change :)
