I really don’t understand the significance of this. If there were really a market for epaper watches, why did no one make them for the last 10 years? Was PebbleOS really so amazing that no one could replicate anything similar?

it’s a niche market, like not enough people wanting to buy a compact sub-5" flagship phone, so i’ll never get one. let people enjoy it :)

Oh, don’t me wrong, I will likely buy one. I am the target audience.

But either it’s a niche market with not enough customers or it isn’t. The OS doesn’t change that.
