It baffles me how a niche product that everyone loved could fail like this. Smartwatch competition seems like a barren field compared to smartphones, and Pebble had things no other rivals could do - double the battery life, true always on display and a great open platform. The functionality was there, an the hardware was good enough.
It would be really interesting to see what actually failed - much smaller companies with niche products like Flirc.tv are chugging along well.
I can only hope that someone picks the torch up and makes a Pebble successor - the userbase is still there, without any matching product to choose.
