Though there's a decent argument that Fitbit is suffering a lot right now too.

I can only hope that Pebble itself will be leveraged. Their products are way better than that smartwatch Fitbit released. Maybe getting Pebbles into more brick-and-mortars

I have experience of fitbit and pebble and of the two I much prefer pebble. But I guess success is not always about the quality of the product.

Success is rarely about quality of product these days. What matters is marketing efforts and, with startups, playing the VC game well.

Still not gonna buy a FitBit, so I hope their acquisition turns out disastrous if they don't plan on supporting it.
