"Yesterday, the software that powers Pebble watches was around 95% open source. As of today, it’s now 100%. This means that if Core Devices were to disappear into a black hole, you have all the source code you need to build, run and improve the software behind your Pebble."
"We’ve also published electrical and mechanical design files for Pebble 2 Duo. Yes, you can download the schematic (includes KiCad project files) ..."

@neil Yeah. I wonder what #FOSS, #OpenHardware smartwatches are an alternative. That #Pebble reboot looks fun. To be honest, I'd just need step counter and maybe heart rate, the #PineTime was enough. I had an #AmazfitBip watch before and I loved its reflective always-on screen. Software was terrible though.
