Eric Migicovsky, leader of the revived Pebble, is making smartwatches for himself. You’re just along for the ride.
“Apple makes it incredibly difficult for third-party devices to interact with things like iMessage or Siri or any of the built-in features on iOS,” Migicovsky told Gizmodo in a freewheeling video interview. “And that sucks. That sucks for competition. That sucks for innovation. That sucks for price.”
Just got my Pebble Time 2 a few weeks ago. Loving the battery life!! I’m actually using it with an iphone, but as someone who wanted a smartwatch just for notifications on my wrist, I don’t miss any of the “missing features” at all.
