Pebble and Basis Peak (https://www.engadget.com/2016-08-09-basis-peak-obituary.html) are the two biggest smartwatch losses, and probably top 10 gadget losses of all time. Glad to see one of them might have a future.


In an alternate timeline, we are all wearing Pebbles synced to our Palm Prēs.


The Basis was incredible. It had heath monitoring features Apple is just getting to. I get why it died though. Their V2 exploded on people’s wrists…


I've had at least two watch purchases fully refunded because of similar issues (or lawsuits related to claims of issues at least): https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/05/lawsuit-claims-more-...


Never heard of Basis Peak, but I've heard of Pebble for over 10 years.
