I had to share how different the approaches of both Sandbar Stream ($249) and the RePebble’s Index 01 ($75) are.
Sandbar’s stream ring is closed, propriety, beautiful, add day battery and uses AI.
RePebble’s index 01 ring is open source, funky/fuggy looking, battery which lasts years? and avoids AI
For me the Index 01 calls me (although I do worry about the battery as smart rings don’t have a good rep in this space) , because it has a vision of openness. I expect Index 02, 03 and others who build on top of it will do things which will be super interesting and useful. This is what made the Pebble super interesting and why I find Eric Migicovsky, such a fantastic designer/developer/creator. His values are infused through each project he’s started.
@cubicgarden what happens when it ‘accidently’ texts your boss that you’re hot for his wife..?
or is that what y mean by interesting?
