Pebble Index 01 - AMA

Would it be possible to offer a discount for repeat purchases who recycle their ring, sort of like a core charge? That might ameliorate some of the frustration in the community around e-waste and ring lifespan. Not sure if such a program would even be cost effective, but it would make me feel better about using an index if I knew there was a plan for longer than just the next year.

Something we may consider doing. Not sure yet though.

Second – what happens to the index product if Core devices disappears? People still have their decade old Pebble watches running, but that won’t be possible with silver-oxide batteries. Is the index meant to be a source of more continuous sustainable revenue then?

That’s certainly a risk, but as I’ve mentioned before on my blog - the #1 goal with Core is to build a sustainable company (one that can be around long into the future).
