Apple Watch was presented last Monday by the Apple company and the high prices announced by those from Cupertino seem to have determined a lot of people to support the Pebble Time from Pebble. According to some information that appeared today, the funding campaign for Pebble Time generates approximately $6000 per hour on the Sunday before the Apple Watch unveiling, rising to $10.000 per hour during the event and $16.000 per hour the following day.
Practically Apple Watch presentation by Apple almost tripled the interest in Apple's Pebble Time and rightly so, considering that the product promises a series of extremely interesting functions and features for us. Pebble Time offers a much longer battery life than the Apple Watch, it is cheaper, but also much more versatile because new components and functions can be added through its strap, things that the Apple Watch does not have.
Apple's event this week caused a nice spike in support for us, as anticipated," Migicovsky told TechCrunch. "When the biggest company in the world enters your market, that's the kind of validation you can only dream of. Ultimately the more awareness for smartwatches, and the more choice for consumers, the better for everyone. 2015 is going to be an extraordinarily exciting year.
Moreover, Pebble Time can be connected to Android terminals, and many users would have expected this from Apple, the American company could have had serious sales if it had also considered the competing platform. In the absence of such a vision, Apple helped Pebble to establish a new record in Kickstarter funding, the company's campaign raising 18.5 million dollars 11 days before completion.
