    Watching this I honestly felt a Red Dawn, but with robots instead of communists, and small town Sweden instead of the small town US vibe from it.

    It does vibration and visual text alerts, you can select what apps will send alerts to your watch, and it will honor you Do Not Disturb settings on Android. It does not have a mic on it, so no voice control which I rarely used on my pebble, so I don't really miss it.

    I had an LG Watch Urbane before my Pebble, and the battery life made it a non started for me. The Fitbit Versa seems like a nice compromise between battery life of the Pebble and being a "smart watch". But to be honest it isn't perfect, and I'm still going to wait for a true successor to the Pebble, or an android watch that can last more than a day or two, that looks good and isn't huge. On my Versa it doesn't always turn the screen on when I left my wrist (which as a watch is annoying), and has a few small UI annoyances, but it is not too heavy on my wrist, battery lasts a while, can see notifications with details, etc. So for now it is IMO the best option for android users, but it isn't perfect.

    I'm assuming they meant they have no other option for their specific usage. I don't think they were saying there is nothing out there other than windows, but clearly that is not the case.

    I know some people love the Amazfit Bip, don't have one myself, it has an E-ink screen, battery lasts 45 days or something ridiculous like that supposedly. Again haven't used it myself, but heard good things. I just recently got a Fitbit Versa, 4-5 day battery life, it is ok, but I miss my Pebble Time Steel RIP :(

    I am so sad that Cary Elwes was not able to be in the Psych Movie, especially since he was the one that leaked they were doing the movie. Despereaux would have been great addition, maybe for the next one. But Psych was amazing, the chemistry of Hill and Roday is indescribable.

    I think having groups have their own identity is very important, because otherwise what is the point of having groups when just tags would suffice? Allowing groups to create their own identity, helps create a better sense of community. That said like most others, giving the option for users to not see custom styles should be part of allowing customization.
