My Pebble Time Steel from Kickstarter still works nicely and looks like new (I have changed the straps though). I take it swimming, it has been dropped multiple times, it has had some hard knocks but the metal frame protects the glass and it seems indestructible. I am also surprised that battery charge still holds almost a week.

They did have great potential but apparently consumers didn't agree. And then they sold their IP to Fitbit. :(




I think consumers agreed. The company just seems to have been vastly mismanaged. I find it amazing that nobody is just copying it. Hell, Fitbit could sell exactly that model and have a winner on their hands (the Versa contains some insane mistakes).
