Should i buy a pebble 2 se

[patrick4525]

so i just found my old pebble v1 after my moto360v2 died. 

and i remembered how much i loved the original pebble

but after the purchase of pebble by fitbit i dont know when they stop supporting the watch.

so anyway should i take the risk of them just killing support tomorrow or should i buy the pebble 2 se?

i've heard that they have made the app more offline compatible so you can still use it after they kill the servers

and yes im taking the risk of it being dead on arrival

and because the watch is open source. somebody is working on a new app for the watch
