I can give you that! The Pebble is a little weird looking, as are all the smartwatches right now. It's such a new market and everyone involved is really just winging it. If the idea takes off I'm sure a bigger player will get involved and we'll some with a little style.

As for watches, on top of what ive already said, im not impressed by brand names. A long time ago a roomate of mine bought a Tag Haur(not sure how to spell it) watch and he was showing it off. Of course id never heard of it and he told me he got a great deal on it which was a few hundred i think. That thing looked like some divers watch and wasnt anything special to look at but he emphasized that, "its a Tag Haur".

Didnt look like anything special to me. A watch has no prestige value to me. Dont care who makes it. Could be a Timex, Rolex, or a Athletic Works and it wouldnt make any difference.

Yeah, I have a couple friends who laugh at how much I've spent on watches, but its just a passion like gadgets for some people.

Difference between a gadget or Bell and Ross, etc is that the watch will last decades. There's just something about a fine watch I like.

My imaginary poll says that 100% of people named "mattopotamus" don't know what they are talking about!

Closer to 99% according to my results.

I totally agree. I had this discussion with my fiance a while back- a good watch, a really good one, is an heirloom. Something you can pass down to your kids one day. No different from a nice engagement ring or other jewelry. The watch my mom gave me on my 16th birthday is one of my most cherished possessions. I (half) jokingly said when I have my mid life crisis I'm not gonna buy a sports car, I'm gonna buy a Rolex.

I would pick up a Tag Monaco, but I still want that sports car
