Why do they never show the back of the watch? They are tempting but I'm concerned they went with the usual intrusive heart rate monitor sensor package that jabs into your wrist.



Yeah it looks pretty similar to the pebble 2 (2016) in that regard. I had an original pebble and a pebble 2, and the heart monitor on the 2 was super uncomfortable, to the point where I mostly just kept wearing my original pebble. I currently have a pixel watch, and the body is fatter but it is also way more smooth of a transition into the hr sensor.

I can see myself buying one of these new pebbles, but not the one with the hr sensor. I really just want it for the notifications support.


It's visible at ca 6:47 in the video.


Thanks, I went straight to the ordering page hoping for more product photos and didn't watch the video.
