For me the review stopped being relevant when the author mentions being a Pebble watch owner. Ie I don't personally relate to people who already own a smart watch (to me a pebble watch is geekery for the sake of geekery).
I'm more curious about the impressions of someone who has no smartwatch and doesn't think they need one but are happy to give it a whirl and see how useful they find it after a week.

I'd argue Pebble (specifically, the Pebble Steel) is the opposite of your impression. It's life altering (lets you leave other electronics in your pocket or bag and manage notifications w/o geeky hard interruptions). It's practical (week+ long battery so you can wear it 24/7). It's not particularly more expensive than other digital watches with brushed stainless steel cases and leather bands. It is not recognized on the street as a "smart watch".
- omonra 12y agoFair enough. What I meant is that Pebble is probably bought by early adopters. Ie people who want to have a smart watch. I'm more looking for experience of those who don't feel like they need one but tried it nonetheless.
