Pebble. It's been a lot of fun finding 85,000 sets of everything! Received great-looking samples of the shipper box back from a supplier. This is the box that protects your Pebble during shipping. We'll be doing a 100 pcs shipping test to make sure that looks are not deceiving and that the box holds up. Our factory will also do environmental (water) and drop-tests with the box. Things are moving fast in Pebble land. We're progressing rapidly through our Engineering Verification test stages. We've been spending a lot of time in Asia working with our manufacturing team and the various vendor factories that are supplying parts for Pebble. Two weeks ago, we did a sample build of Pebble with the full assembly line. The output of that sample build was a few of the first assembly line manufactured Pebbles! Note: Pebble is not in mass production yet. These sample Pebbles are from an early pre-production test build. We only turned the assembly line on for one day to test the process. One of the first Pebbles off the test assembly line. Check out the video above for a closer look!
