It retains the excellent battery life of the old Pebble, is compatible with all the old apps, and has the admirable feature of fitting ordinary watchbands available at any department store. It also retains the original's lack of a touchscreen, which some may see as putting it at a disadvantage against more advanced models like the Galaxy Gear, Sony SmartWatch, and of course the upcoming Apple Watch. But Eric Migicovsky, the company's founder, describes this in the Kickstarter video as a feature, not a lack thereof. "A smartwatch should help simplify your life," he says. "It shouldn't try to replace your smartphone , or distract you even more."
