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 love my time 2 but it has a pretty serious design flaw; the glass screen has an exposed edge. A minor scrape on anything of sufficient hardness will chip the edge and in my case it has.
I can deal with scratches but these chips are so distracting. I’m very sad this flaw was not fixed before production as it’s a simple fix. I wasn’t convinced it would be a problem but I was wrong it chips very easily and now I have to live with it
I hope the next run of watches raises the bezel so it can protect the glass edge.
