Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones (ericmigi.com)
During Pebble v1, I learned how much harder it is to build a great smartwatch experience on iPhone than it is on Android. It sounds like things have actually gotten worse over the last 8 years.

Bad Smart Watch Authentication (sprocketfox.io)
When I originally paired the device I scanned a QR code on the watch. Turns out this probably just had the mac address on it or something because after several hours of getting device info and pulling activity data I realised that I had never performed any authentication step. Resetting the app and repairing also revealed that there's no pairing code. Nothing. The device isn't locked or secured once connected.

Apple Watch with Android (abishekmuthian.com)
A friend passed away recently during sleep due to unknown natural causes when they were all alone in a hotel in a foreign country. I couldn't dismiss the thought that may be if they had worn a smart watch they could have had better chances of reaching out for help and perhaps even got alerted of some discrepancies in their vitals.
