Hello, world!

We're the Pebble Pariahs! While some may consider Pebble watches to be dead and useless, we think otherwise. Thanks to services like Rebble, we Pebblers have been able to keep using these fun and innovative smartwatches long after Pebble's unfortunate demise. On this blog, enthusiasts MiniMac and JohnS will be writing about what it's like to daily drive Pebble in the 2020s. We'll be writing about all sorts of Pebble-related things, so stay tuned for more posts! Before we end this one, though, here's some information about the writers:

About JohnS
Hi, I'm John! After over a year of using a Wear OS watch, the simplicity and long battery life of Pebble finally won me over very recently. I'm using a Pixel phone paired with a Pebble 301BL, so I hope to mainly write about the Android side of things with my Pebble. As for the 301BL, it's already one of the favorite devices I've ever used! Aside from the occasional screen tearing, which is infrequent enough not to bother me, it's a very solid device. I'm looking forward to blogging about my Pebble experience here in the coming weeks, months, and maybe even years! Also, that Pebble Time does look pretty neat... 😳

About Miniature Macintosh™
Hello! I've been using a Pebble 301BL for about two years. I'm using an iPhone 8 paired with a 301BL, so unlike John, I will write about the iOS side of things! I first got my Pebble in August 2019 as a birthday present; and after using it for two years, I would like to say a few things. It's my favorite watch. I've used it for a while and, honestly, it doesn't compare to anything..., you CAN'T compare it to anything. It's so unique, yet lots of fun. I plan to develop for Pebble so, keep on the look out! I also want to point out, that while, yes, the Pebble may seem dated, it honestly is. But if you can overcome that fact, it's a neat little watch. Like I said, I've been using Pebble for a while, and John was finally convinced to buy one last week! I can't wait to see what we write about next! Stay tuned!

Editor's Picks: Our Top 5 Pebble Watch Faces

Hey, everyone! John here. One of the best parts of the Pebble experience is the wide variety of watch faces to choose from. From ultra minimal to highly complex, there's probably a watchface for just about everyone. While our picks are entirely subjective, here are our top 5 favorite faces: 5. 91 Dub Like the classic Casio digital watches? This face is based on these beloved devices and looks strikingly similar to them. It's not for everyone, but we think it's pretty neat! 4. TrekV3 If you're a fan of Star Trek , you'll love this face, and you still might even if you're not. Following the style of the futuristic LCARS operating system in The Next Generation , TrekV3 looks awesome and displays tons of helpful information at a glance. It's practical, it looks cool, but it is also a bit busy. Like the last one, it's certainly not for everyone, but we like it a lot. 3. Modern If you're a fan of more traditional watch faces, this o...

Yo, Check Out These Rad OG Pebble Faces

Hey, all. John here. I met up with MiniMac today and we decided that it was time to make a new post, so here goes. These are some of the best Pebble faces for original Pebbles/Steels, but also can be used on some of the later models. Also, these are some of the more obscure faces out there, since I think we all know the famous ones pretty well. Anyway, let’s get into it! Laptopman Face 2.0 To be clear, I actually made this face myself, so I might be a bit biased when calling this one of the best Pebble faces. Then again, this is 50% my blog so I can do what I want! Anyway, with this face, you get the rather neat Laptopman character who proudly displays the time and battery level. It’s really cool. Check it out Circle-5-MOD remix This is easily one of the coolest Pebble faces available, at least for monochrome Pebbles. It has several dials that are sophisticated but still very readable. This one is easily one of my favorites, and it’s surprising it’s not more popular. Check it out Slide...

Signing Off

 Hi, everyone! It’s the Pebble Pariahs, and we’re here to share some sad but perhaps unsurprising news. Essentially, this blog is going on hiatus indefinitely. There are many factors that have led to this, including failing devices, limited spare time, and those pesky narwhals in our basements. In all seriousness, though, we Pebble Pariahs are simply no longer able to keep this project going at the moment. While it is unlikely that this will happen in the foreseeable future, there is a chance that we may bring this back someday. We will still be around elsewhere, so consider this our signing off rather than our end. We would like to thank all of you for reading our posts, and we hope we’ve been able to help you on your Pebble journey. We’ll certainly continue to rock our Pebbles from time to time, and we hope you will, too!
