Pebble Time is within $200-250. Battery life is almost a week (I don't take a charging cable when going on small trips). It is basically a notification display

Pebble Time is within $200-250. Battery life is almost a week (I don't take a charging cable when going on small trips). It is basically a notification display + fun aesthetics.
Though if you're talking about wearing a $1000 watch, the pebble watches as a whole might not be your vibe. The Pebble Time (especially the red one) can look like a McDonald's toy from afar
But if you remember that you're wearing things like a smartwatch to _get your shit together_ (or whatever), after powering through the initial self-conciousness of wearing a Game Boy Color on your wrist goes away. Well, did for me at least. But the first couple of weeks were almost embarassing.
- alkonaut 11y agoYes my hope of a simple standard would be that you could could choose any watch with any design and still have some smart features. I don't really like the idea of the big black flat screen watch, I want my smart watch to look more or less exactly like my dumb watch - which I'm admittedly wearing only as an accessory. I'd prefer physical hands on the watch even if it meant the info display was limited. I'd be happy with a good looking chronograph that could just notify me of messages from apps, and display short texts. 2x16 chars lfs mono text would be enough to not ruin the design of the watch. Edit: it's a thing! http://www.slashgear.com/hps-isaac-mizrahi-smartwatch-woos-ladies-with-crystals-29424831/ http://www.slashgear.com/hps-isaac-mizrahi-smartwatch-woos-l... (Perhaps a bit blingy but just what I'm talking about)
