It just didn't do enough for me and was a bit ugly. Without Fitbit-type capabilities, none of these will earn wrist time with me.
I'm looking forward to trying the Apple watch... Let's see what they can do.

Pebble started virtually from scratch and took less than 18 months from
the beginning of
the kickstarter
to shipping
the product. It's been 3 years nearly since that and apple still have us waiting.
For a company like that to drag it's heels imo is not on. They should be leading
the way with
the money
and tech they have at their disposal. Let's hope it's worth
the wait but I doubt it as it will most probably
won't be multi platform, I phone only. Pebble being open platform shows they are not so insecure as apple imo.
I appreciate your honesty and agree with
the ugly quote, (!st go was defo function over form) although that's
one of
the reasons for starting this thread, that
the metal was far from ugly and a
step in the right direction.
I'm just glad you didn't sight "it needs charging" as a reason to sell it.
Although have you seen here?

Anyway If you buy
the apple watch please let us know how you get on with it.
Thanks for your thoughts, you should post more often.
