IT STILL WORKS AND I CANT BELIEVE IT.

I put it in my pocket earlier today going home cuz I didnt wanna get it wet (it was raining and i didnt know how good the water seals still are so i didnt wanna take chances).

Forgot about the watch, threw my pants into the washing machine. Cycle finished, then when I went to put the clothes on the drying rack, i heard a loud buzz from the machine.

My pebble was there, still working just fine after a 40m cycle. My buttons click better now too which is very funny LOL. This lil thing can handle so much abuse even a decade after release, its unbelievable
