The kickstarted Pebble smartwatch is now a division of Fitbit, so they may "reduce functionality" on all the watches they ever sold

Here’s the section headings from the email they sent to all their customers yesterday:

  • Fitbit has agreed to acquire key Pebble assets.
  • Pebble is ceasing all hardware operations.
  • Making Awesome Happen will live on at Fitbit.

Two of these are purely informational, one of these is pure corporate bullshit that makes it look like they don’t give a fuck about anyone except themselves, can you tell which?

I got a Pebble2 last month to replace my OG Pebble which I really liked, trouble is, the P2 is a few firmware updates away from being great (disconnects from Bluetooth about twice a day, pulse tracker doesn’t notice when you’re not wearing the watch etc). I don’t hold out any hope of ever getting those firmware updates any more, so I might end up moving back to my original Pebble.
