Goodbye Pebble
-
I am not sure if anyone here was a Pebble user or not. I had my Pebble Classic for about a year and loved it. 2 Weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and get a Pebble 2 + HR. Then today the announcement came out that FitBit had for sure bought Pebble, they will be closing Pebble, all non-shipped orders and Kickstarter backing will be canceled and refunded, they will begin phasing out cloud features of the watch, etc. etc. I still had my receipt, and Best Buy honored their return policy and I got a full refund. It sucks, I guess I will have to save up for an Apple Watch as it has been 4 hours and I already kinda miss it. Has anyone else had a technology company just disappear after you bought the hardware?
-
Yes, but it was a several million dollar thermo-former that makes bathroom tub shells.
I bought the company a whole collection of late 90's era Compaq's and cloned the drive to all of them. It's an interesting take on hot spares I suppose.
-
Awwww but... but... but pebble looked so promising.

I just hope FitBit has fixed the problem with the adhesives on their bands. I've had to super glue my band on for the second time in a year.

If you email them and ask they will send you a brand new one. They did for my wife twice now.

Mine is already out of warranty. I did have them do that the first time. The second band was better -- it lasted almost a full year... If you are telling me they'll still ship me another one, then dang, I need to go to their site and see!

It is worth sending them an email and asking. I can't remember if hers was a year old or not, but I know she got the same one replaced twice.

I'll hit them up and see. Their support crew was great when this happened before.

Sad that is required but glad they replaced it for her
