This past week the purchase of Pebble by Fitbit was announced and our colleague Ignacio Sala echoed it in this same article. Today after approximately 6 days from the arrival of this news to the networks, it is made official by Pebble and users who had opted for Time 2 are left without a watch. This smartwatch has been fully affected by the sale of the brand and all those users who made the purchase of it will have to wait until March of next year to get the money back. In any case everyone will get it back, but it is a chore.
This is the official tweet that were launched from the official Pebble account this afternoon, something that was already confirmed but was not officially published:
Our @kickstarter Backers will be automatically refunded for any unfulfilled rewards by March 2017. #pebbleXfitbithttps://t.co/SMau6NhCEl pic.twitter.com/GFvMnT0dIv

Now the future of the company is already decided and all those who have a watch of the brand must be clear that the guarantee of their devices has not been very clear and that the forums remain the only site that will remain active for their questions. You can think that the company that buys Pebble will have to take care of all the possible problems that arise to customers who today have a smartwatch of the brand, but this is something that has not been officially confirmed anywhere. Possibly after Pebble's official statement about the operation we will have Fitbit's, so hopefully this will clarify the doubts about these issues that concern current Pebble customers.
They don't understand that by March means everyone will be refunded before the end of the month. Not that they will all be reimbursed that month. That I see many, I have already reached them.
