I'm extremely torn. On one hand (or rather, on one wrist) I have the pebble steel and I LOVE it, couldn't imagine going back. But on the other wrist I have an iPhone and the pebble works better with Android ATM so the Apple Watch looks attractive. Back to the first wrist, the pebble has much better battery life and is cheaper than the even the lowest priced Apple Watch...

Edit: Ok, I pulled the trigger, I can always get a refund or just resell it if the Apple Watch blows it away or something like that.



The Apple Watch will be better with strong competition. It's great that there's a company that spends all day thinking about making a better watch.

Anyway, you'll need to wear something while your Apple Watch is charging. :-)


Agreed and if the rumors on iPhone battery life are true [0] (which they probably are) then you're right, I'll need something for when my Apple Watch is charging lol.

Apple isn’t competing with Pebble; it’s odd that people don’t get this. It’s like saying Porsche is competing with Kia. They both make cars but they’re targeting two very different markets with very little overlap.

We shouldn’t confuse consumer choice with competition. I know several Pebble owners who wouldn’t buy an Apple Watch even if it cost the same as a Pebble because they don’t like what they believe Apple represents.
