Engadget has some hands-on pictures with the new Steel:  I've already upgraded my pledge to the Steel because of the extra battery life but I'm still on the fence about the bezel. The ratio between frame and bezel on the normal Time is enough that you don't really notice either, but it's hard to overlook how small the screen looks compared to the frame around it on the Steel. At least this time the Steel comes with a metal strap instead of it being an upsell...?

Just a heads up, the Pebble Time campaign closes in a few hours. Here's one last update before then with some pictures of actual physical watches (with simulated screens, apparently): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-time-awesome-smartwatch-no-compromises/posts/1179422?ref=backer_project_update I'll probably stick with the silver Steel but that gold-with-red-strap looks gorgeous and is making me reconsider...

Drastic Actions posted:Finally got my Time. It works. Installed a unofficial Japanese language pack so I could get notifications I could read. Having an always on screen is still nicer than the Apple Watch and my GWatch. The animations are cute, but makes it feel a little slower than the original to me. Feels nicer than my original Pebble. Nothing else to really say about it I guess  ) so I'm kinda disappointed to hear that I have to go with something unofficial...but at this point anything is better than boxes.

Rosalind posted:How do I set this thing to not vibrate at 2 AM when I get a work email without turning off Outlook notifications entirely? I have a Moto X running Lollipop if that matters. You could use Tasker or whatever you wanted, the idea is to set up a scheduled task to nuke Bluetooth so your watch doesn't buzz at night. My last phone was an Xperia which is how I found out about Connect. It was way easier for me to use so I stuck with it when I changed phones.

I really like Timer+ for general timer needs: https://apps.getpebble.com/en_US/application/54a1ba1afc5f23e4c000012d And JavaPay is awesome if you have a Starbucks card: https://apps.getpebble.com/en_US/application/54527bf9d692a12cfa000081

The less I have to worry about maintaining my watch the better, so the Pebble has been a no-brainer for me since the original Kickstarter campaign. Also, is there really that much of a stigma around square watches? IAmKale fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Sep 23, 2015 |

xlevus posted:And has anybody ever got voice replies to work? Neither I nor my Wife have. Related to that, does anyone know if the mic feeds your audio data to Google's voice recognition? I was surprised at how quickly my voice was rendered into text - surely the watch itself, or even the Pebble app, isn't responsible for that?

Virion posted:They said they were shipping as they received them. They're probably doing so without a tracking number, as I just received my steel finish band in the mail today. I was a bit later in the delivery for the Steel so maybe they're nearing the end of bands too. Edit: Just FYI the screwdriver that came with the Pebble Steel watch band can be used to adjust the Pebble Time Steel band. It's really precise but it'll fit.

I've backed all three Pebble Kickstarter campaigns and have been a huge evangelist of Pebble since Day 1, but even I'm considering asking for a refund in light of the acquisition rumors. Even if the Pebble Time 2's get delivered, every watch will be crippled without a company maintaining server infrastructure to serve up additional apps and watchfaces. I guess the silver lining to an actual acquisition would be Pebble open-sourcing their backend software to allow the community to maintain an ecosystem, but even I have a hard time believing that'd ever happen with Fitbit at the helm

It's all but official at this point: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-07/pebble-said-to-discuss-selling-software-assets-to-fitbit Pebble done hosed up. That's what you get when you have too many engineers and not enough business people on a team, especially one that deals with hardware. I guess the best course of action will be to wait a year or so for the Fitbit Blaze 2 or whatever to come out

I have yet to receive my refund - what are my options at this point? On the 7th Pebble said Kickstarter would process all eligible refunds in a week, then it could take up to 10 business days. The 10th business day was yesterday and I've yet to see a refund.

WhyteRyce posted:It's weird to me that Amex wouldn't back you in this case. I thought the whole point of Amex was that you get way better customer service at the expense of not being able to use it at a bunch of stores because they charge more money to pay for that amazing customer service. If they don't have that or the Costco deal anymore, what's the point? Fortunately I was able to reopen the dispute last night, and the agent helped me submit screenshots and links for both Update 17 (the KS update detailing the refund process) and Pebble's own KS-specific support page listing refund details. Amex followed up shortly afterwards requesting that I submit, in writing, my side of things so that they can look into this issue more cloesly. I'm a bit miffed I've been put on the defensive, but I'm more optimistic than I was when I received the initial dispute resolution. Fingers crossed!
