I have a rule: I never preorder anything. I broke that rule recently. https://www.repebble.com/

Their website has a question at the bottom "Are you still interested in Pebble?" And if you click yes, it'll show you their new models, but there's also a button for No, which takes you to Google's latest smart watch. The "we're not a big tech msgacorp" vibes are strong with this one.

I mean this project was made by Google engineers (some of whom are ex Pebble engineers) so it's not exactly a unbiased decision to link to Google smart watches

Someone else has it direct then to Apple store. They were on a Mac. They figure it's user agent based and not Google being Google
