I am liking the new Pebble app with the Pebble Appstore. It's so much easier loading and unloading apps or watch faces. On top of that no need for httpebble to be running alongside the Pebble app. Kudos to the Pebble team. I have the Kickstarter edition of the Pebble watch, and I'm really leaning towards getting a steel Pebble. I will wait though when they come out with their next version of the watch as this current version can only store 8 apps and watch faces at a time.

I love mine. At first I was like "what is all the hype about??" It seemed overly simple, the app in version 1.0 sucked (pre iOS 7 improvements) and the watch faces were a PAIN to find and load.

Gradually it has improved, iOS global notifications helped a lot. Pebble 2.0 App and Firmware goes further by making it super easy to load watchfaces. These watchfaces have a lot more features (easy two way communications with internet, more robust features) and they are easier to find and load.

The limitation of 8 watch faces is also less of a big deal with the watchface/app locker built into the app.

The funny thing is after a while you are like "oh, my pebble isn't a big deal" and then you leave it behind for a day and can't see your emails or texts with a flick of the wrist and suddenly you realize just how useful the darn thing is!

I like the idea of pebble and having an app store for it makes sense. I am not very keen on the actual watch. Still seems bulky. With Samesung and (hopefully soon) apple delivering an alternative, I wonder if pebble has a chance on its own?

Have you seen the new steel version? Lighter, slimmer and IMO stylish. Although I'm holding out from switching my Kickstarter version to the steel one till they release an upgraded Pebble with more capacity.
