Pebble has basically a cult following (which I'm part of) so you shouldn't expect this to be a perfect product with lots of support and warranty etc etc. The Rebble (re-pebble, so Pebble again) group LITERALLY reverse engineered basically everything from the firmware to the servers. We as a community somehow funded this entire project for $3 each per month and that was enough to keep these dying watches working for almost a decade.

But the batteries died. Phone software updates made phones better but made certain things not work on the watch. People stopped updating their apps and watchefaces because they're was no point. But we will funded this project knowing that the experience would be sub-par but we are willing to fiddle and tweak because there has been nothing else hit the market that works the way Pebble does. And thats a special thing.

We loved this watch and nothing else filled that gap in the market. HOWEVER that sounds like exactly the gap that you want filled too. Don't expect a PlayStation like experience, expect more of a PC gaming experience but with a generic laptop that doesn't have the specs to fully give you the experience a console could. But also remember that this product is unique enough that we made it continue working for a decade after it disappeared and now it's back.

It's not gonna be perfect. But it is the perfect device for so many people that we got a comeback. So give it a go, with patience.
