Pebble

Yeah, but obviously it's finding that balance.

So yeah, I think looking as an example from Deadline this year, I think there was, well, Tea Drinkers, the Pebble Watch entry, What Time Is It?, that ended up being released at Xenium.

because I think the deadline had rules against AI that seemed very sensible.

I could absolutely get them behind.

But what's even better than that is people actually paying you money before you build a class, right? So Kickstarter is awesome for this.

Do you guys know Pebble? I'm familiar with Hebel.

So there's all these smart watches coming out now.

This is like, I guess it was one of the first ones, but it's like a teacher's watch.

And if you can't collect $100,000, we don't have enough money to make it, or maybe it's just not worth our while, whatever that number meant to them.

If we kept the goal, then the people give us the money, and we give them lashes.

What was cool about Pebble is they not only kept $100,000, but they were the largest Kickstarter ever, and they hit over $10 million.

And I liked that the number was so big, it doesn't even quite fit in the .

trip.

I've got both of you beaten on battery and a slinky link to the next one because of my Pebble Time 2. um which the battery it doesn't last the 28 days that they said it should but um it certainly lasts me two weeks um depending on how you use it of course as always but the um pebble time 2 you sold to me jim

yeah

and i really don't regret it at all um it's a it's a real good tinkering toy and getting stuck into the community on their website and and developing stuff with it and and and and you know being able to access all the stuff from the last 10 years is really rich and i think you're regretting i think you mentioned in the group that you were regretting selling it to me now i did

we'll jump to the next one i put in then and i i actually named this leave no pebble unturned but yeah i've been reading your posts on the pebble time too and i thought to myself And again, now that I took the shackles off and didn't lock myself into an ecosystem, I thought to myself, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of regretting that I sold that now, that watch.

So again, much to the chagrin of Mrs. F, I've jumped back in while she was at work and ordered the Pebble Round 2.

So I couldn't resist.

I mean, to be honest with you, it was quite cheap.

Like, an example of a trend story today would be like, so, uh, you know, there's Google Glass, and there may be an Apple Watch.

There's the Pebble watch.

So, like, wearable technology is a trend story.

And so if you're developing something wearable, you could pitch, pitch yourself.

You could say, "All right, we're gonna be the first intelligent belt buckle." And, you know, when you're talking to journalists, you can say, "Well, you've heard of the Pebble watch.

You've heard of, of Google Glass.

Like, we're the world's first Wi-Fi connected belt buckle." You know? And so you're not just pitching your story.

No, no, no, not that one.

I- in September 2013, Peb- Chill is discussing the Pebble strengths and weaknesses.

This is when Pebble was a Kickstarter project, remind you.

Mm.

Now it was bought by Google and then given back to Pebble, uh, since then.

And then, uh, in 2018, I'm suggest- I'm talking about moving from Pebble to Apple Watch.

I still have that Apple Watch that we were talking about before.

That's the one that I...

Enjoy the show.

Introduction to Pebble Round 2.

The Pebble Round 2 is a circular smartwatch powered by the open source.

Eric Migakovsky proved people wanted a smartwatch.

In 2012, he asked Kickstarter for $100,000 to build the Pebble and raised over $10 million.

Apple launched its watch in April 2015 and shipped two out of three smartwatches sold that year.

Pebble went insolvent the next year.

Migakovsky spent three years proving the demand that Apple sold into.

Snapchat proved people wanted stories that vanish after a day.

Or earbuds or something.

Oh, speaking of which, you know, I know you're a fan of the Pebble back in the day, the Pebble watch.

I pre-ordered the, not just the ring, I got the ring, but Pebble, the Pebble round time two, Pebble round two.

I just got a notification today that it's going to start shipping.

So it'll be coming soon.

Nice.

I'm super looking forward to that.

You already have the new Pebble watch,
