        yes, and discontinued right after, no?

        look don’t get me wrong, I like the product and curious about its return. I just find it strange to pretend a version 2 of a product is “unique”

        That is Apple level of “we inveted this thing that has been in the market for 2 years”

      they were bought out by competition, why make better products of you can simply buy off competitors.

      Pebble was competing with Fitbit so Fitbit bought them, then Google bought Fitbit because they were competing in the smart watch market.
