    Pebble sounds cool but i really dont like square watches(except the retro casios and gshocks) and now its owned by google so thats shit as well.

      Google dumped the Pebble OS code on GitHub when this whole “rePebble” thing (not Rebble) started. Now there’s a new phone app coming out soon (or out now, depending on your platform and abilities) that handles old and new Pebbles and modern phone platforms.

      None of this is from Google.

      I think Google just owns the software because the product page for these watches say the guy invested his own money to get these produced.

      …and now its owned by google so thats shit as well.

      Google acquired it back in 2021, this move to open source it is a good thing.
