Eric Migicovsky, leader of the revived Pebble, is making smartwatches for himself. You’re just along for the ride.

“Apple makes it incredibly difficult for third-party devices to interact with things like iMessage or Siri or any of the built-in features on iOS,” Migicovsky told Gizmodo in a freewheeling video interview. “And that sucks. That sucks for competition. That sucks for innovation. That sucks for price.”

    I can’t believe you made me do this but I count 17 obvious attributions to Eric across the 17-paragraph article. Sure, some paragraphs have zero and some have more than one, but these plus a bit of analysis from the author adds up to an honest accounting of what the new Pebble is doing, why it even exists, and why Gizmodo’s tech enthusiast readers might want to know about these really niche, not-well-marketed products.
