[* 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] Considering the construction and finite lifespan of the Pebble, we're concerned about what end-of-life recycling plans its designers may have. We've contacted them and are eagerly awaiting a response.
+[* 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.
