What the hell? They are delaying their new watches left and right, cancel pre-orders because they ran out of parts, and now they’re doing this, just out of the blue?
A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea
It should be outlawed if you ask me. “Battery Life: Years of average use” What if it dies after a month? The warranty they offer is 30 days, meaning that this is pretty much meant to be junk.
Just get an old Sony MP3 recorder…
Oh wait, here’s the best thing. They acknowledge this in their FAQ and that’s one of their reasons:
So, classic Eric Migicovsky. There was a reason I was staying away from this RePebble shit entirely.
This is the same guy who offered integration between Beeper and iMessage and had it broken by Apple in under a week, and then… just stopped trying after promising it to customers.
Then when he got bored with Beeper he sold it to Automattic.
It’s so much like his original run with Pebble as well, where he fucked over the devs on their way out who were promised jobs with the sale of the company, to find out late in the game that wasn’t actually happening.
I think Migicovsky being allowed to startup companies and then throw them in the bin when he gets bored while pocketing the profit should be outlawed.
