Eric Migicovsky, leader of the revived Pebble, is making smartwatches for himself. You’re just along for the ride.
“Apple makes it incredibly difficult for third-party devices to interact with things like iMessage or Siri or any of the built-in features on iOS,” Migicovsky told Gizmodo in a freewheeling video interview. “And that sucks. That sucks for competition. That sucks for innovation. That sucks for price.”
I’ve got the new watch, the Pebble Time 2 and I love it. I also have an OG Pebble which is fully supported by the new Pebble company and app, and they’ve open sourced everything. The whole thing is as good as you hope it is. I’ve pre-ordered the Pebble Round 2 as well, which will be my classy watch.
