  Their website has a question at the bottom “Are you still interested in Pebble?” And if you click yes, it’ll show you their new models, but there’s also a button for No, which takes you to Google’s latest smart watch.

    I mean this project was made by Google engineers (some of whom are ex Pebble engineers) so it’s not exactly a unbiased decision to link to Google smart watches

      Someone else has it direct then to Apple store. They were on a Mac. They figure it’s user agent based and not Google being Google

    The only reason Pebble has come back is that Google agreed to open source the software after the original pebble founder pleaded with them.

    This is probably a cheap “thank you” for that.

    Pebble in its current state is absolutely not a big tech megacorp lol

    It sent me to the Apple Watch. I have a Mac, so it’s probably using the User Agent.
