I was an original Kickstarter backer for the original Pebble. I loved it and it replaced my 8 other mechanical/quartz watches.
When the Steel came out I backed that on day 1 as well. Its been my sole watch since it was shipped (the original now serves as a screen for Strava/RunKeeper on my bikes).
When I saw the Time announced I was horrified by the design - it seemed so backwards and basic. I'm clearly at the polar end of the bell-curve when it comes to the design assessment of this watch as I feel as if it was almost a joke, a toy. I know that there's some specific technical improvements under the hood. But for me it's like trading in a Lexus for a Lada because the Lada has a better car audio system.
Each to their own, now i'm awaiting the delivery of my rose gold Halograph - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/watchismo/the-halograph-an-unusual-mechanical-automatic-watc https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/watchismo/the-halograph...
