Should I contact Pebble or Kickstarter customer service? I'm on Android, what's the best smartwatch for me?

Android wear is basically your only option and pretty much none of them offer an always on display while not needing to be charged daily. There's basically nothing comparable on the market from what I've seen and I am very unhappy about this

If you have a basic understanding of coding you can pinch code form other faces for whatever you want to do and it's not that complicated. If not it's probably going to be difficult

They announced no refunds. They spent the kickstarter money and more on development.

Pebble: the end of the Timeline.

This one is good. Got my pebble classic last May and it's developed the screen tearing issue. Had planned on purchasing either a time or time round, guess not now! Got a mi band 2 instead, at least if it gets abandoned I'm only out 20 bucks. Oh well, :rip:

Yeah, agreed, although I would prefer to be able to set alarms/timers directly on the watch.

I got a mi band 2 and it does the majority of what I need but this is a huge thing that it lacks. You can set them through the phone but ugh

Yea Kickstarter can work when a competent company is using it. Unfortunately that doesn't describe Pebble

I used a pebble classic with bt headphones a bunch with no problems so I'd say it's abnormal

I dunno how they acquired both pebble and vector and then put out a piece of garbage like that
