Discussion with Nautique regarding the replacement for Pebble watch

[charlesml3]

2 weeks ago, I actually introduced the CEO of Nautique to the head of the Apple Watch team, and Nautique basically said, "no thanks - we need buttons" to which Apple replied "the crown is a multi function button that can control behaviors of an application." Silence after that.

I'll take "Things that never happened" for $500, Alex.

Wow - I am so stunningly disappointed by the harsh tone, and cynicism on the forum. Why would I make something like that up? My intent was first to try and create enhancements for the broader community, and secondly to share that I'd made the effort. I really don't have any stake in whether you prefer a Pebble or Garmin to an Apple watch. They are all fine products, but I don't happen to own either. I own an Apple watch and was hoping to add the functionality for me and others who have both a Nautique boat and an Apple Watch. No axe to grind... But since you have challenged the veracity of the interaction, here are a couple of screenshots.

Very well. I apologize and stand corrected.

Is the Pebble app still available in the apple store? I can't find it. I'm trying to decide if I should order a Pebble Time off eBay or just buy a Surf Select 3.0 module and a Fenix 5s. I'm an apple watch user and really wish it would work, but no such luck it seems.

I think I found the answer to my question on the Rebble site. Guess I don't have a choice but to get the Surf Select 3.0

iOS app removal

On the 4th of October 2021 the Pebble app was removed from the iOS App Store. That means new users who do not already have the Pebble app installed on their iPhones will not be able to download it.
While Rebble are working on a replacement app, it is not yet ready for use.
If you already have the Pebble app installed but not set up, continue with the guide.

[charlesml3]

Or you can get a Pebble, send it to me and I'll set it up with Surf Select and send it back to you. I've done that a few times for people here already.

Well I'm in Canada, makes things a bit more complicated. I guess I could buy the one off eBay and have it shipped to your address

[charlesml3]

Yea, Canada makes it difficult. I've tried to ship Pebbles there and it was expensive.

[Proedge]

Well I've ordered a Surf Select 3.0 module and will buy a Garmin 6 Pro off marketplace and hopefully all will work. Just waiting for the module to arrive. Nothing like spending $1000 to be able to control your music and wave while surfing haha

[GMLIII]

Proedge Probably much more than $1000.00 once you add labor to the total cost.

[Proedge]

I'll install the module myself, so no labor cost involved. I don't think its very hard to unplug the old one and plug the new module in

[Proedge]

Well I got my new module and made a quick installation video for those interested. Hope this helps someone in the future installing a 3.0 module

[GMLIII]

Great video

I still wish Nautique had a remote option similar to the Malibu/Axis selector. Surf side, wave shape, speed, and volume control with large buttons. Or just open source the commands for the SS3.

charlesml3,I bought a 2018 G23 last year and learned wake transfers with my wife at the controls. Would like to get a pebble watch (classic) to control the transfers and stereo. I saw a couple years back that you offered to download the software to folk's watches. Are you still willing to do this? I'm looking to buy a watch off of ebay and learning how to replace the battery so it will work but need help with the software. Thanks
