Many of you probably already know this, but Pebble, the idiosyncratic smart watch maker, has folded. Their IP has been bought by Fitbit, but there is no prospect of continued manufacturing.
Pebble was one of the great innovators in smart watch design, although they never adopted a touchscreen interface. But they specialized in E Ink displays (including color) and were probably the only manufacturer to offer reasonable battery life (7 days and up on some models).
I found they excelled at what smart watches are actually useful for: text and email notifications. With no button pushing or wrist flicking required, the display scrolled the latest message so you could *discreetly* glance at it in meetings, while driving or even in the middle of ordinary conversations.
