Pebble Watch worth 60$?

So I've been interested in having a watch/smartwatch on my arm in quite some time. And I see this original Apple Watch for 60$.

Though I already have a Huawei A1 Band (fitness) And wondering if having two things on my arms (with bluetooth) would be a stupid idea, and whether or not I should even consider the Pebble in the first place.

 

Any thoughts? Maybe someone who owns two devices, or has a Pebble Watch?

I had a pebble steel for 2 years until it stopped charging loved it. Oredered the new pebble for January. If your talking the orginal pebble, dont get it. Also 2 watches would be fairly odd especially if one is to make up functionality for the other.

I owned the Pebble Time Round for a while there, and the only reason I stopped is because I somehow managed to remove the face off of the watch so it became useless. I miss it everyday but I'm waiting for them to put them up for sale because my wrist feels barren.

IMO the original Pebble isn't worth it, so clunky

I have a Moto 360 Sport (Android Wear, $175) and I LOVE it. Maybe wait for the new Pebble or get a better smartwatch on Black Friday.

Personally not a fan of smart watches.
I don't think it would look odd wearing a smart watch and a fitbit, though.
It would be a watch and an arm band.

What's wrong with the original one in particular?

My arm also feels barren when I don't wear my Fitness band :D

Great point! Guess that's where the great price comes in too...

One of my friends has the original Moto 360 that he got as a gift.

I saw the original one for around 110$ sometime last year.

Which smartwatch would you recommend, that is somewhat cheap, and still more functional than an original Pebble Watch?

Does the features justify the price on those smartwatches?

And would it be dumb to walk around with a slim fitband and a smartwatch on their arms?

That's why I got the Moto 360 Sport, does both jobs... 

Wait till Black Friday and pick up a 360 Sport. It's pretty damn good for the price
