      I have been using a Pebble Time since january 2016, now it's failing to charge and the store stopped working. I am looking to buy a Time Steel as there aren't any good smartwatches like the Pebble, can you tell me what are the rebble servers? i still want to use a Pebble and won't change any time soon, just loved it and still will do, I considered the Amazfit Stratos, Pace and Bip but they just don't feel the same as the Pebble.

      Check out rebble.io for access to the new "Pebble" store.
      I can whole heartedly recommend the Pebble smartwatch as an excellent daily use watch with accessories available like new bands and such. The watch is solid enough to endure construction work. I've banged my watch on brick walls and ground the watch face on concrete and it didn't break and is still very usable. With no touchscreen, the Pebble is life-proof.

    I'm very upset that Fitbit aren't continuing development of the Pebble smart watch, I have an original Pebble watch which I've had for nearly 4 years. I just bought an iPhone XR a few days ago and I made the decision to retire the Pebble watch and not use it anymore, mainly because the screen is failing and barely works now. I don't feel comfortable buying a new Pebble watch because I'm concerned about what's going to happen if Apple makes a major change to iOS that prevents the Pebble watch from working with my iPhone. For this reason I probably won't buy another Pebble watch. I don't understand why Fitbit don't revive the Pebble brand and just sell the watches under the Fitbit brand. Very sad.

    I am going to get one and I found a fix to get the Pebble app working again. On your phone, go to APKMirror and find the Pebble App one. Download it and then go to the play store and download a app called Pebble - Rebble. That app should kind of explain what to do but if it doesn't make sense, click the button and make a Rebble account and then go to the Pebble app and wait for it to load, then you should be taken the the connection page and then probably the set-up. I haven't gotten my watch yet so Idk.
