Rip Fitbit. They had a good run.

I'm still salty over Pebble

God the Pebble was such a nice piece of hardware. They really focused on the shit that mattered

I've moved to Garmin now, but I have an ocean's worth of salt over Pebble as well.

I'm still wearing an OG Pebble (I've had about a dozen Pebbles total) . However, they're starting to get more rare and expensive. Also, while I'm still on Android 12, I understand Android 14 can break the app.

I had two Pebble Steel watches. One just up and died one day and the other slowly failed as the buttons stopped working. I knew it was fixable, but with the sale to Fitbit happening, I Switched to AppleWatch. I do miss some things (battery life!) but all in all I’m not unhappy with my Apple Watch.

Chromecast gave life to my old TVs for years. I'm watching it slowly die.

Now they can do the walk of shame as a Google product.
