Marques believes that having a simple smartwatch with long battery life, like the new Pebble-inspired devices, is a compelling idea despite the lack of high-end features.

“we had a lot of nostalgic thoughts about our old Pebbles and how much we like them and how eing seems to be a great idea and a long long battery life on a smartwatch could be awesome”

Andrew feels that buying a watch purely for nostalgic reasons, such as the Atari 2600 My Play Watch, is a reasonable choice if one considers it as part of a collection rather than a daily utility.

“this feels like a watch that's part of your watch collection and depending on the day yeah like quirky watches”
