The Fitbit Ionic looked like it could be a spiritual successor [I'd presumed - without evidence - that that was where the Pebble team ended up].

It doesn't yet look open enough (or quite cute enough) to persuade me, but I'll be keeping an eye on OS/ecosystem updates and hardware revisions.

The SDK part of the Ionic is what was built by the Pebble team, and it's a really pleasant-to-use SDK -- developing stuff is super easy to do. They've also actively courted all the former Pebble developers to port their apps over, so a lot of the popular Pebble apps are already ported to the Ionic.

That said, I did prefer the Pebble hardware to the Ionic hardware -- I miss my reflective LCD.
