    Let’s not put the car ahead of the horses. I’ll wait for reviews before sending a cent.

          The Pebble was the only smartwatch I ever enjoyed using. It did all the basics and nothing else. It didn’t look fancy, but it had personality. There was no way I’d sit this one out. Maybe it’ll be a dud. We’ll see.

      I believe the saying is “cart in front of the horse” because the horses are traditionally pulling the cart.

      I’m just being pedantic because the idea of making the horses go in front of a car is hilarious to me.

      Agreed on your point about not getting too excited about new pebbles though.

        In front or ahead means the same? That’s exactly what the saying means, the car being in front of the horses, because it should go behind the horses.

          Yeah, ahead and in front are synonymous. I think your issue is that “car” and “cart” are not the same. “Car” (without the T) is an automobile. It will not have horses pulling it.

          Might have just been a typo by you missing the “T”. I just found it humorous.

            Ah I see. That’s just a mistranslation from my own language. We acrually say carriage.
