That’s good to know, as it has corrected my view. I understood that Fitbit bought them at a low price and shut them down in order to reduce the competition, leaving Pebble users with their own higher-priced watches as alternative. One or two other small manufacturers I have also looked into have also been bought and subsumed by Fitbit.
I had specifically avoided fitbit because I had perceived they shut down what for me was my preferred watch, but I’ll take another look now.
I love my Pebble. They were perfectly functional, and cheap to boot.
