The black one is still original price only the red one that's reduced.
I currently have the classic but I've reserved this one to collect today

I have an Apple Watch currently and never reply to anything on it. I miss the week-long battery on the Pebble and frankly don't need all the bells and whistles. All I need a smartwatch for is to tell me if I need to bother getting my phone out of my pocket, tell the time and buzz my wrist for alarms and timers. Unfortunately I would lose so much money selling my stainless steel Apple Watch that I begrudge doing so, and keep hold of it for that reason (and that I don't have anything else to use). I wish my local Argos had one of these as it's a price I can justify for a second smartwatch for daily use - obviously the Apple Watch looks a bit smarter 'for the weekend'.
I never experienced the bluetooth issues you mentioned with any of my old Pebbles - from the classic, the steel and through to the Time Steel. My Time Steel unfortunately broke so I had to get a refund on it and haven't owned a Pebble since.
The way people are talking on here it's as if they're going to all spontaneously combust on February 28th or something. There are certain price points where things are worth buying, even if the long-term prospects aren't there. Some people (like me) really enjoyed their Pebble and are disappointed that every manufacturer is moving to OLED screens and basically trying to make smart watches into mini phones. I lose more than £59 by buying Smartphones and selling them on a few months later so £59 for something that I might only use for 6 months and then keep for nostalgia value doesn't seem bad to me. All the claptrap about it having 'no warranty' is laughable - do people honestly think that Argos would turn you away 5 months down the line if it broke? They'd be breaking the law.

I think that's a cracking price. Yes, Pebble is on it's way out but if this has the functionality you need, then at this price it's a steal. Personally, I don't like the appearance of these, and only need the basics from a smartwatch so bought a used Pebble Steel. So far, so good!

May be a sinking ship in regards to future firmware updates since Fitbit bought them but still a cracking watch for the price. It does what it says on the watch and if the classic is anything to go by they are reliable

Eink display I think. In some ways a real innovation even now

What does it do? Can I run with this or bike and does it have accurate measurements like my ancient GPS watch?

Crikey, could you find a bigger picture to use?
Yes we all know Pebble the company no longer exists, but the watches still work fine!

I assume this can't be used as a GPS tracker on its own?

No GPS built in, uses the phone for distance.
Its first and foremost a smart watch, 2nd a fitness device rather than the other way round.
