Google recently open sourced Pebble and today, Repebble has put some of the watches up for preorder.
How does that read to you like him saying it’s not replaceable?
Have you tried reading the rest of the comments?
Sure have!
He told someone not to buy it if they expect more than five years without repairs. That person seemed to think spending more than $100 should get them a product that lasts a lifetime, and was irritated the founder said he thought it was pretty good that a piece of low cost consumer electronics made it five years before needing repairs.
What part of that says to you that it’s not reparable or won’t last five years?
The comment that Eric replied to saying “please don’t buy this” mentioned nothing about repairs. It was entirely about overall longevity of the device.
In the context of him saying the device is repairable, the top comment talking about repairing it, and the comment in question replying to that thread, it seems a bit weird to say “he didn’t say it in this comment, so the comments where he says it’s repairable don’t count”.
It seems a bit weird to say that he wasn’t replying to the comment he replied to.
