I'm one of them. Figured that Apple was the only company who could pull off a smartwatch I'd actually use, but then saw the Pebble Time and its $169 Kickstarter price-point. The battery and the waterproofing were enough to get me to preorder the Time and get a used original Pebble in the mean time to try out. After a week with the Pebble, what's noticeably missing is the ability to reply to SMS. Because of iOS restrictions on third-party apps and SMS, the Pebble can't do it without jailbreaking. It was pretty upsetting when I came to this realization, also realizing that the Pebble Time and it's nifty new microphone would also lack this functionality. With the Pebble lacking Siri integration, I can see myself picking up an Apple Watch once the battery can last at least two full days.
