I am really enjoying mine. Even if it only ever allowed me to read text messages and see callerID it would be valuable to me. Of course I'm excited about the apps that are yet to be developed. I use Runkeeper now instead of Strava and Nike+ because of its Pebble integration. I'm hoping the Pebble will allow me to avoid having to buy a super expensive Triathlon watch. I really don't have many complaints. The battery life is fine but then again I charge it every night on my nightstand. The construction is great and I especially appreciate the fact that I can swim with it on. I replaced the watch band with one I liked better so I'm glad I was able to do that. I have had the watch become unpaired from my iPhone a couple times which is bad news since I turned off all sounds and vibrations on my phone since receiving my Pebble. But it hasn't happened for a long time now. I'm excited to start developing apps for it, too. The two-way messaging they just added to the SDK is going to open up a world of possibilities. All in all, I'm a very satisfied backer so far.

I'm hoping the Pebble will allow me to avoid having to buy a super expensive Triathlon watch. You can get a Garmin GPS watch for about $100. Less than a Pebble, and you can take it swimming. I wouldn't recommend taking your phone in the pool. :) RunKeeper integration is cool, and handy for those that already use it (or for those that already carry a phone while running, which I don't). But I'm not ditching my Garmin FR610 just yet. As for the unpairing problem, if it happens then I can never trust it. I had that happen a lot with my iPhone, but not with a Nexus running Android. Looks like a bug in iOS, but regardless of fault I can't trust it to keep me from missing phone calls or an email message when using iOS. These things will get worked out eventually, but for now I view as a kind of neat, if not entirely reliable, gadget that happens to tell time. But that's just my use case, YMMV.
