Hi, I'm wondering about buying a used Pebble 2. Does it make any sense though? Isn't it using some services now maintained by Fitbit which they can shut down at any point?

You can still buy them new [1] but fitbit is discontinuing support and services on June 30th. [2]

While the servers are going down in June, projects like https://rebble.io are moving toward replacing those services. For the last release of the Pebble app, they included a dev mode which allows us to change the path for the store.

We'll see how it goes, but I bought a Pebble 2 HR a few months ago and love it. This is my third Pebble.

If you ever find that the screen starts to tear, check this post on reddit for a quick fix. https://redd.it/4fgn6e

It most likely won't happen, but if it does, its an easy fix.
