Pebble smartwatch
=================

Note: This is  an another text which  was written no the  Z88 some time
ago.


I once  read at the  OSNews that some people  started to use  the Apple
Watch and  ended with the traditional  mechanical ones. In that  time I
was curious about their reasons.

Now I have been using mechanical Luch  watches for more than 3 years. I
used to use the Pebble SmartWatch  (actually all generations of them: I
started with  the - second  hand - original Kickstarter  Edition Pebble
then got the Pebble Time and finally  the Pebble 2). I didn't used them
as a remote terminal  for my phone and synchronised them  once a day or
even less.  I think that  I was satisfied  with them. There  were minor
issues (the  first ones  died after  some time and  the Pebble  2 newer
fully worked  - but the company  ceased to exist before  I figured that
something is  wrong). I  still have  the Pebble  Time (the  Pebble Time
Steel one, actually).  They still work well but they  serve as an alarm
clock, stopwatch and the timer. I have found that I have little use for
most of their activities. The calendar is  nice but I prefer to be less
informed about further  work. Counting of my steps has  no influence on
my activities.  Remote control of  music player  has little use  for me
(moreover it was  too unstable when worked with  Ubuntu Touch devices).
And the  Pebble Steel are  relatively heavy (all my  mechanical watches
are much lighter).

Thus I have ended with mechanical watch, too. :-)
