Comment on The Pebble Has Been Brought Back

  It reads to me like he’s saying that if you expect 5+ years without maintenance if it’s more than $100, you should look at a different product.
  The top comments are someone saying that after five years they needed to repair it due to battery failure, and the founder saying the repair process is the same.

  Five years is longer than the average lifespan of a liIon battery. Expecting to be able to skip repairs that long is unreasonable for a $150 product.

  It reads like the founder actually giving realistic expectations. A $150 product will likely need repairs to last longer than five years, and you’ll be disappointed if you expect otherwise.

  Can you point to a similar product that costs about as much that fits your criteria?

    It doesn’t read to me like you shouldn’t have to replace the battery, it reads to me like he’s saying don’t expect the device itself to last >5 years.

      How does that read to you like him saying it’s not replaceable?
