I still wear my Pebble Time Round every day. The form factor is unequaled. Less than 8mm thick is just not where other companies are going with their watches, and I'm sad about that.

I agree. Give me a slimmer Fitbit with less functionality and basic controls and I'm sold. I loved my pebble time.

I won't get back into wearables until they start slimming down.

Still wearing mine... until it falls apart.

Then, I'll unbox my backup Pebble and wear it until _that_ falls apart.

Hopefully they'll have something comparable by the time I run out of them?

The same can be said about phones. Apple loves to sell big screens so they can sell more content and apps, but I just want a compact phone.
I was wearing mine until it fell apart and nothing on the market seems to be a decent replacement... everything else is really clunky and weird looking.
Ditto but for the Pebble 2. I bought a few backups that I can continue using for a few years until something similar is released (week long battery life, easy to read always-on display, hacker friendly, etc).

I have my eye on the PineTime, but it has quite a while to go before it's usable.
