I know 3 people with pebbles. All 3 have had the screens stop updating properly after several months. Plenty of other folks on the forums also have display problems. I feel like it was an ok level of satisfaction for a kickstarter and proof-of-concept, but nowhere near good enough for me to stick with the platform. I'm just hoping it inspires another company to do a great job of making an awesome e-ink watch now that the market has been demonstrated.
Interesting. I know 3 people with Pebbles and have one myself, and none of us have had any problems of the sort. At one point my charging cable broke, probably due to my transporting it rolled up, but that's it.
You can add one more to that list, I'm currently waiting for my RMA replacement to arrive. I do love having it when it works, but I'm a bit disappointed with the hardware issues. Reminds me of the old RRoD issue on the old Xbox360s.
I feel like you've got an unlucky group of friends. I bought a ten pack for a group of us at my work, none of them have had any issues at all, yet.
My personal experience has been 10 for 10, and I know some people who have bought in later and haven't had issues. The only issues I see are the ones I read about.
