Cartier London created all kinds of daring designs during this era, as the city around it shook off a post-war malaise in pursuit of something more playful and rebellious. "It's in London where people had in mind to play with existing values," Pierre Rainero, Cartier's director of image, style, and heritage, told me. It was a playful, creative atmosphere. These shapes from Cartier London were still "totally inscribed in a Cartier tradition born in Paris," and t...

Pebble was the next great smart watch. And then it wasn’t. In 2012, it became the most successful Kickstarter campaign at the time, with $10 million pledged. The wearable technology market was at the gates of booming and the product was promising. Hopes were high and the fever seemed to catch on. By the beginning of 2013, the products began shipping and by 2014, over 400 000 units were sold. By 2016, that number was already two million units. But it’s 2019 and, chances are, most people don’t know what a Pebble Watch is. Pebble was ready to take world by storm with its line of smartwatches. And, for a very short period, it did. But production issues and, most importantly, wrong decisions meant that just four years after its launch, the Pebble Watch and its company, Pebble, sold all their assets and ceased to exist. What was once supposed to be a game changer is now a lump of forgotten technology and a lot of lessons learned. So, what happened to Pebble Watch as a company? Pebble’s CEO, Eric Migicovsky wasn’t new to the world of wearable technology. Since 2008, he had tinkered with the idea of a watch that could dish out information like weather, sports, stock and, well, time. So he created the InPulse for Blackberry phones. But the InPulse faced one hurdle that was hard to overcome and, eventually, would also haunt the Pebble. It was hardware, not software. And hardware needs a whole lot of money. Let’s look at Migicovksy’s early experiences with investors. In 2011, he part...

The Pebble line was PCMag's favorite set of smartwatches. I'm going to break the hard truth to you: there's nothing out there that really compares. Pebble's failure was some mix of internal financial mismanagement and a general global lack of enthusiasm about A recent (Opens in a new window) underscores that smartwatches just haven't set the world on fire. People don't find them useful, they get bored, or the products break, leading to a 29 percent abandonment rate, the research firm said. Consumers find them too expensive and unappealing to wear. That said, we found the five best alternatives to Pebble's products we could drum up here at PCMag. I am not including any Android Wear watches on this list because the operating system is in a potential future Pebble situation. Google has Apple Watch Series 1 ($269) The Apple Watch is the watch of choice for iPhone owners. It's heavily supported by and integrated with iOS, it'll get new features as time goes on, and it has a lively developer community. It also makes a pretty decent (Opens in a new window) , Apple's lower-priced smartwatch, isn't waterproof or as bright as the more expensive (Opens in a new window) , but it runs all the same apps. Aside from its iOS-only nature, the Apple Watch's one-day battery life is its biggest failure when compared to Pebble's products. Samsung Gear S2 Classic ($299) The Gear S2 Classic (Opens in a new window) is the best smartwatch for Android users right now. It's small and comfortable, wi...

For the Pebble smartwatch, time has finally run out. Fitbit has acquired Pebble's software assets and most of its engineering team, but has no plans to build new hardware. Anyone who pledged $69 or more for the Time 2, Core, or Time Round models via last May's Kickstarter campaign will automatically receive full refunds. The company says refunds will be distributed by December 20. Fitbit's Fans loved it because it was well-designed, less expensive than other smartwatches, and a pioneer in the category. But in the tech business, it's not how you start that matters, it's how you finish. And this ending is not pretty. Probably not, but they might be on life support. According to figures released by research firm IDC, And as fitness trackers add smartwatch-like functions such as notifications and third-party mobile apps—they already tell time—the lines between the two products blur. Apple CEO Tim Cook claims that Apple Watch sales are Milanesi says smart watches aren't dead, but technology companies need to do a better job of educating consumers about the differences between sophisticated smart watches and much simpler fitness bands. "There is room between where Fitbit is today and where Apple wants to be," she says. The good news? In a few years your Pebble watch will likely be a collector's item, like the Palm Pilot or the Apple Newton MessagePad.

We're now a few weeks into a post- But don't cry for Pebble because here, this time we mean we've actually been using it. On a Pebble Time Round. And it works. Rebble is an organisation that's providing free web services and software – there is also a subscription for some features – which will increase what you can do with a Pebble smartwatch now that Fitbit has ditched them. Rebble was set up by ex-Pebble developers, and Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky is a fan. The idea is to try to re-instate features that were lost on 19 July. Your Pebble watch will still work now the servers are shut, but unless you switch to Rebble you will have to wave bye-bye to features that require cloud support, which Fitbit did keep open for longer than it had initially promised. So features like voice recognition support, SMS and email replies, Timeline pins from third-party apps and access to Pebble's app store and forum will now be gone. What is Rebble? Rebble was set up around the time that Pebble decided to cease operations. The essential aim was to keep the platform that powered many of its services and features live through the help of Pebble developers and enthusiasts. In February 2018, Rebble announced Rebble Web Services, its solution to keep core elements of the Pebble ecosystem live. This included offering an app store, firmware updates and the ability to create mobile apps. The hope was to get as many of the services as possible live in time for the Fitbit server shutdown. Now, the...
