Apple stopped selling competing smart watches before the Apple Watch launched, so none of the loss of shelf space was a result of Pebble not supporting Apple. In fact, the Pebble app allowed you to run applications like Misfit on the Pebble which worked fine with iOS. What is different here is the presence of native support in the Pebble OS itself. I own an Apple Watch, and I generally enjoy it (and the build quality is a million times better), but my first generation Pebble has some great advantages, and the native apps on the Pebble are vastly superior to the Apple Watch. There are no 3rd party apps of any real value on the Apple Watch. As for Apple apps, I sometimes respond to a text but that's about it. I use the activity tracker, but prefer both the Fitbit and Pebble (with Misfit app) for tracking my runs.
