I have a Pebble, and wore it for about six months. The battery life was great (once a week charging) and the service it provided was also great, as I didn't have to pull my phone out to investigate every buzz. I also missed fewer messages, because a buzz on the wrist is much more distinctive than in the pocket.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the aesthetics. I want a nice looking, stylish watch. Not a particularly expensive one, just decent. I didn't like putting on a decent outfit and feeling professional, and then have a cheap-looking piece of black plastic just hanging on my wrist. So I lent it to a friend, who has been using it for the past few months.
Edit: Oh, the one thing that I really miss since lending it out is the easy-to-access music controls. I found them very handy.

- sp332 12y agoDo you like the new Pebbles better, or are they still bad (aesthetically)? https://getpebble.com/steel https://getpebble.com/steel
- Zikes 12y agoI like the look of the brushed stainless much more. I don't have that, but I can imagine wearing it to work without feeling like a high schooler with a calculator watch.
