[* black] Smartwatches might be the next big thing, but—right now—the Pebble is a unique device. We don't have a repairability metric for a watch…yet. | |
[* black] In lieu of a numeric score, we'd like to list a few of our repairability and durability findings: | |
[* green] Low power consumption decreases the frequency of charges, increasing the battery life. | |
[* green] Watch band is a standard size and easily replaceable. | |
[* red] Inaccessible battery limits life of the device to 6-10 years (by our estimates). | |
[* red] It is impossible to open the device without destroying it or at least compromising its waterproofing, making internal repairs infeasible. | |

+ | [* black] We got in touch with Pebble's design team and voiced some concerns about end-of-life recycling. We were happy to learn that they currently have a plan in the works for a responsible recycling program for dead Pebbles. |
