Good deal for a second hand smart watch, just picked one up myself at this price as a test to see wether I would benefit from the utility of one.

Not a bad shout for a tryout, but these often have an issue with screen 'tearing' on the display, and this becomes a more common issue as they get older. Doesn't happen to all of them of course, but it is common. Google it.
If you're looking for long-term use and not a try out, I'd get a new one so you have the free two year manufacturer's warranty.

Has anyone else's turned up? At £20 I'm tempted, but it depends on what condition they're in. If they're battered and the battery is pants then its a waste of time. But if the glass is fine....

Will the old apps be still available? Did they take down the entire ecosystem and we will have to scavenge for .apk and so on?

You don't very warranty on any pebble watches anymore, the company ceased operations 2 days ago.

Was looking to order one as a little present for my son for Christmas. Looking at this as I'm not sure how well he will look after it or how much he will use it so thought for this price it might be worth a shot. Has anyone had one yet and able to tell me how bad the condition is ?

The condition mine arrived in is actually very good, very light scratches to the screen but it works perfectly. It even comes in a plain box, perfect for wrapping as a present

What is sad is that my Pebble Time Steel will stop working at some point... it's like finding out a loved one has a terminal illness. Got to make every day count so will be wearing it to bed and in the shower from now on.

I'm a fan of Pebbles, £20 is a bargain I was just warning people that the company and hence support was a little uncertain at the moment. More to do with support than value.

I considered one until I saw the screenshots of the condition most will arrive in (It looks like most of them have been VERY well used)

To call this a smartwatch is a massive overstatement.

showed as 11.99 until i logged out of eBay - it then showed as free. When I logged back in it went back to 11.99

I'd be careful buying Pebbles at the moment as they're apparently in the process of being bought by Fitbit. Apparently Fitbit aren't interested in continuing to make Pebbles so things are a little up in the air at the moment. e.g. The official Pebble store lists *everything* as out of stock...

It's a used £20 watch, you don't need to be 'careful'.

Yep that's it, I'm in county Antrim hence the silly price for postage. Good price at 21.99 nevertheless - voting hot

Bought one last year wore for a while but went back to my good old Casio, great deal at this price though it's an excellent watch just having to charge etc was a bit annoying for me.

My Pebble is almost 2 years old. Screen tearing happened after about 18 months so I tried the fix (small piece of cardboard between the circuit board and the back casing) and it's been fine for almost 6 months.

21.99 now plus 11.99 postage... would have taken a punt at 21.99 but postage too high

It's showing as "fast 'n free" postage for me - are you in the Channel Islands or somewhere like that?

I wear mine in the swimming pool without issue! :wink:
My first 1st-gen Pebble (bought in last year's Black Friday sales on Amazon) suffered from screen tearing within minutes of use, but the replacement has lasted so far - I hope I haven't just jinxed it!

Screen tearing for me too. I tried the fixes inc the sponge, worked for a few weeks then got worse. Ended up binning the watch

I've had 2 replacements due to the 'tearing' issue. I also had to ditch the rubber strap as it gave me a rash/dried skin.

Says it has been cleaned, of data.
No mention of cleaned as such, let us know could be a bargain if it doesn't smell of sweat or have dead skin on it.

They're waterproof so a good scrub and clean should resolve any issues I would imagine
