xamphear posted:Yeah, I've stopped wearing my Pebble on a daily basis. I bought it as an "app watch" which is how they sold it in their Kickstarter. But as it stands now, it's basically just a "notifications watch" and anything above and beyond that requires a bunch of micromanagment hackery and doesn't look or act good enough to make it worth the effort. You really hit the nail on the head when you called that comment about IFTT "pebble as hell". Their response to loads of features has been "we're not going to implement that in a first-party simple way because you can accomplish it already if you spend an hour hacking together a bunch of 3rd party apps and services." Now I've got a Sony smartwatch, and its a little more app oriented. That said, I've been wearing it less myself for the same reasons as you. The novelty of seeing texts and calls on your wrist is just that, a novelty. Its saved me several times since Android silent mode is way too easy to enter and I can not miss a boss call thanks to the obvious notification, but its not horribly useful or stylish, both of which are kind of staples of a watch. (That's if keeping meticulous watch over time is considered useful, and I think it is.)

The Toq also isn't locked to Samsung devices. The Galaxy Gear is basically overpriced trash.

I got a decent enough analog Armitron off Amazon for $18 shipped. I like the looks of the new Pebble, but at that price I might as well buy something with a little more zing.

New leak, for anyone interested: Kind of scummy, in my opinion, that a new Pebble is already showing up on Amazon when some people don't even have their Kickstarter Pebble Times/Steels yet.

It does look nice and thin but I really think they could have sized it up a few hairs and snuck in a better battery. Like sirbeefalot said the great thing about the Pebble is that it's a smartwatch with a much more respectable battery life. At this price point and battery life, why not get something a little flashier like an Android Wear watch? Hell, I think even the old Moto 360s got a few updates and can stretch to 2 days without much compromise. I also would have liked if they stuck with 22mm bands, as my few spare watch bands are 22mm.
