Pebble has an attitude which is very different from other Tech Competitors. They believe "A Smartwatch is never meant to replace your Smart Phone".

I have always thought a smart watch as nothing but a health + notifier. I never wanted a watch with touchscreen as It always gets bumped into places here and there. Heck while playing something like soccer you'll fall down and get rekt.

 

I have the original Pebble (The first Kickstarter Edition) ...And till today It runs at 7 days a Charge with a daily Pedometer & Notifications from Whatsapp & Email.

 

I am a person who is too lazy to charge something daily. I already charge my phone daily and I consider it a burden (lol) . I can't simply plug another device for daily charging.

 

If you don't have any problems with another "Daily Charging" device added to your life. Then you are better with an Android Wear or Apple Watch.

If you have a problem. Pebble is the Best watch you can get.

Ive owned the Pebble Steel for some time now, about 6 months or so, and I love it, its just handy to have really, sure it black & white but I can live with that, if you're looking for a watch that notifies you when you've got a text/email/snapchat/whatsapp message ect. then its ideal. You can also reply using the watch, but its a bit fiddly to do.

 

I got mine shipped to me as I live in the UK, I waited 1 whole month to finally receive it, I dont blame pebble, it actually took 6 days to get from Singapore to the UK, then 23 days to clear customs...

 

It looks really damn good as well, I wanted a flashy but practical watch.

 

Also the battery life on it is insane, like 3-4 days without having to charge it.

I bought my pebble steel when it was $250. While it was shipping the price dropped to $200. I was a bit annoyed but when I got it I never regretted the purchase even once.

The watch isn't going to change your life but being able to read text at work is great. Before if I pulled out my phone some smart ass customer would always make a comment about using my phone at work but now I can read text from my managers while managing sales.

Controlling music is also great and only having to charge once ever week or so is really optimal. It gets to the point that when I need to charge the watch, I have to dig through drawers looking for the cable because I will inevitably loose it during the long periods in between charging.

I would say it's the best watch to get if you have been wearing a watch for years and want something that adds value to your phone.

Thanks dudes. I am sold. I dont want something that is "going to change my life" just a nice watch with convenient features. Apple watch is a no-no and really like the way the Pebble looks.
