Pebble, Nook, a bunch of Kickstarter stuff... Lumia 950.

Also the Burger King "Big King" burger, the McDonalds chicken selects... and a few other items that I have forgotten about over the years...

I dunno if that makes me "Harbinger of Failure", but its become clear that my consumer tastes are pretty niche.

At least I got "unsweet ice tea" right, lol. Seems like plenty of soda companies are making that now.

If it makes you feel better, I'm the only person I know of who still has a Microsoft Phone... running Windows 10!
Not the only one. As long as the battery and flash keeps, my 1020 will continue to be a good camera.
I have no idea why there still isn't another eink smartwatch. It was such a wonderful piece of tech. Worked wonderfully, had days of battery life and, most importantly, non trivial and loyal customer base.
The Pebble had a transflective LCD display (branded "e-paper"), not e-ink (a term which refers to electrophoretic displays).

I agree though that Pebble was great and there's no true replacement yet.

The Lumia 950 was really nice, you are not alone.
