I currently have an Apple Watch and two 1st gen Pebble watches. I have had the Apple Watch since its release in 2015 and the Pebble watches since their kickstarter campaign. What I like most about my Apple Watch is that I don't need to wear a chest strap to use the heart rate sensor. Other features that are useful are turn-by-turn navigation and the ability to store music on it for use with bluetooth headphones while exercising. That being said, I had the Pebble watches for awhile before receiving my Apple Watch. While the AW has more functionality and features, the thing I loved most about the Pebble watches was the need to charge them only once every 1-2 weeks. The AW needs to be charged nightly. The AW was given to me as a gift. While I do like it and have found it quite useful, I wouldn't have bought one myself. I don't feel its worth the $400 price point. I have several friends that have fitbits and every other flavor of android-based smartwatches. I haven't heard one complaint about any of them. What it comes down to is finding the platform/form-factor that works best for you and understand that wearables are still in their infancy. Much will change and improve as time continues.
