Dammit smartwatch industry, this isn't rocket science. The core values a watch brings are time on your wrist, notifications, and low maintenance. The core upgrades are simple apps (stopwatch, timer... ), waterproof-ness, and fashion.
Those are your dimensions. If you do anything that compromises those product fundamentals, you are making a bad decision.
If Pebble came out with a good looking, waterproof watch with a week long battery, they would dominate the market. The fact that they have done so well against the marketing juggernaut that is apple, is a tribute to how close they've come to these core product traits.

- samastur 10y agoI can't speak for the original poster but I find none of their watches remotely attractive. They are no worse than other watches in that price range, but I don't wear those either for the same reason.
