I guess there's a market for it nevertheless, because in stoked for the new pebble steel. I'm still wearing mine every day. I checked out the Bangle, but compared to the pebble it just looks like a cheap kids toy to me. At the same time, other good-looking smartwatches are either neutered in functionality, or send all your data to the cloud (or both). Also: yay, physical buttons instead of just touch screen!

This reboot is amazing news to me.

    Oh of course! I meant to say they aren't worth it to me, folks' uses and wants for a smartwatch vary so widely. I totally agree that the pebbles have great aesthetics, and the issues about data collection for pretty much everything else on the market. I do wish the new pebbles had a heart rate monitor, though.

    The Pebble Time 2 does have a heart rate sensor.
