Somehow I missed out on this device when searching for open watches, thanks for the info.

I’m confused what you’re asking. Google opens sourced the pebble code, which they acquired from their purchase of Fitbit, who acquired it when they purchased pebble. Repebble is an open source project that has been trying to keep the original pebble watches working since Fitbit shut pebble down.

Loved my pebble watch, got burned with kickstarter campaign for pebble 2 (bid lost money gone when it was cancelled because fibbit taking over right at this moment).
Since then I went back to Casio and will not look at a computer on a wrist anymore, not even Apple Watch or repebble.

Nothing else ever really achieved what the peobble did. I just wanted a cheap second point of interaction with my phone.
After it went under the industry has doubled down on insane cost, pointless features, abysmal battery life.
I don't get it. Pepple made all the right trade offs and the third party support was incredible.
I hope this works out.

I've been enjoying my modded Casio W-800H for the last few years. It's a nice sweetspot where it's cheap enough that I don't need to worry about it but it has the features I want (namely a countdown timer).

Any word on Beepy V2? Migicovsky's been pretty quiet on that lately.

I just went to take a look at it, its €65, I don't see a price anywhere near $35?
and then i saw they had enough e-reader and got all excited... They charge €610 for that thing, holy crap that's stupid expensive.

I ran my Pebble Time into the ground, so I'm hyped as fuck for this. I bought it in my early highschool years and wore it nearly daily until last year when the rumble motor finally gave out. Still wear it from time to time, but it not buzzing for notifications is a bit of a deal breaker for me.
I bought a replacement and it's so pristine I didn't want to risk slowly damaging it at work, but now I'm charging that bitch up and running it into the ground until new Pebble comes out. Thanks for sharing OP, this news made me week!
Bonus, here's what mine looked like as of a few years ago right when the vibration went out. You can see I slapped a skin on it to cover up the bezel scratches, but the screen still looks totally fine!

Never trust or buy something from a Alphabet company. They will always cancel the project and leave you high and dry.
Their track record speaks for itself.

But this doesn't have anything to do with alphabet? They just open sourced the code.

I miss my Pebble Time Round every day, it's the only smart watch that I owned that I actually liked. I even bought a second and got it running via Rebble.
They both died due to a swollen battery but I've been pining for something similar for years! Hope this pans out

Why are PINE64 EU prices higher than Pine Store Ltd.?
Prices listed on PINE64 EU include both VAT and shipping cost. In short, you pay the listed price and receive your delivery within 7 days without additional charges.
Cheapest shipping to me is $12, and sales tax varies by US state so isn't included. VAT looks to be 15-25%, so that explains most of the difference. Since it also doesn't seem to e affiliated with Pine64 directly, Lucasz is probably taking a cut as well.
