Free : 1x Pebble Steel Watch

https://au.pcmag.com/smartwatches/45266/pebble-steel-smartwatch

Comes with USB charging cable and if I can find it, a bag with extra links for the strap.

Works well except does have a little glitch occasionally (once every few days IME) where the display corrupts - push a menu button and it comes right again.

Conditions : You must have at least 200 posts on Geekzone

Pickup from Stanmore Bay, Auckland, or Symonds St Auckland CBD.

Can post at your risk.

Oh that screen corruption problem was quite common, happened to my Pebble Steel - luckily I emailed them when they were still operating and they sent me a free one.

If 150 posts is enough... I'd be keen! Otherwise, totally understand if it goes to someone else :)

Thanks for offering it up for free in either case @Xpd

Correcting the screen corruption thing is easy... it's caused by the battery spring weakening over time. You just need to open the case and put in a piece of paper to increase the tension again.

If I didn't already have a Pebble Steel, I'd take you up on the offer. :)

Ha! My trusty pebble gets another new home 😁

This was actually my second one. First one died entirely and yeah Pebble were great and just sent me a replacement once I'd proved ownership which was easy. I miss Pebble.

Still hoping Fitbit bring in something like the Pebble Time (especially a color e-ink display).

Hehe yeah, its been a great watch, but I'm moving to a budget fitness one - dont want to look too geeky with a watch on each wrist ;)
