This is really sad; Pebble had probably the best products on the smartwatch market, and I'll be disappointed to see them go.

They were the only smartwatch manufacturer that could claim anything close to 10 days of battery life. They were the only smartwatch manufacturer that made devices that were water resistant and really meant it. (That is, they're all rated to 3-5 ATM and tested the same way regular watches are, you can actually use them in chlorinated or salt water, and they didn't try to claim that your "water resistant" device's warranty was void if you got it wet.) They were the only smartwatch manufacturer that made devices that had an always-on display that's actually any good (with the possible exception of the just-released Gear S3; I've yet to see one in person but it sounds like Samsung are getting there). It's a small thing, but they were also the only smartwatch manufacturer that didn't take themselves too seriously, filling their UI with cute icons and animations that made the watch fun to use. All that, and their products were significantly more affordable than some of their competition.

My Suunto can go weeks between charges (with GPS not in use). Even with full feature usage, it's supposed to go 200+ hours.

Which one? Also, is that with a connection to your phone or data service so you get push notifications? Can you run custom apps on it?

My quick perusal of Suunto's site seems to indicate their watches are more like a fancy fitbit then a smart watch.

Same with my first generation Vivoactive. It's a great watch.

Same but I wouldn't classify my ambit 2 as a smart watch tho.
