    Methinks you underestimate the complexity.

    And all the other watch makers I’ve looked at are not doing, or even considering, what Pebble did.

      That guy is intentionally obtuse and acts in bad faith. Pebble’s IP and software were sold to Fitbit. Then Google bought Fitbit. Then Google made PebbleOS open source this year. It couldn’t be made until now.

      Maybe I do. But there are dozens of Chinese no-name companies who developed entire smartwatch ecosystems.

        Dozens? Name three, and be sure to include number of aps in each ecosystem.

        I’m sure there are dozens of Chinese smart watches, but most that I’ve seen are white-labels and sorely missing an ecosystem.
