I am extremely excited for this. It would be amazing if it had wireless charging so it was completely sealed. The battery life on my Pebble was amazing, the customization was great, and I really hope this new iteration works well with iOS to deliver notifications. NFC for unlocking things would be a bonus too of course. But no matter what, I am very excited especially since the OS will be open source.


You can also have waterproof with magnetic pin charging like "magsafe" style (doesn't have to be wireless per se) :)


True but that means a proprietary charger standard too.


I don’t believe that there are any wireless charging standards small enough for a watch (qi/qi2 is far too big), so it’d be proprietary anyway.
