You haven't tried either yet so how do you know?

I am buying one, I'm not an Apple basher - I'm just tired, tired, tired of reading posts from people who almost religiously refuse to admit there is a single shortcoming with theWatch at all and that the Pebble is total garbage thats not going to sell well. I just wanted to put my point across that the
Watch is not perfect.
I applaud those of you who must drink 5-Hour Energy by the gallon or are on crack. You clearly need a smart watch that can last an entire week.
However, I do this thing every night. It's called "sleep" and it allows my body to recharge. And just before I do this "sleep" thing, I will put my Apple Watch on its charger so it will be recharged when I wake up. This nightly ritual won't hurt the usability of my Apple Watch because I don't need to refer to it while sleeping.

Pretty disappointing that it is going from waterproof to water resistant.
Pebble Time - Awesome Smartwatch, No Compromises

I don't know about other apps but the fitness app "misfit" runs in the background. It constantly tracks my steps no mater what I'm doing.
My problem is aren't they an established company now? Why do kick starter? I'd prefer kickstarter to be more for the little guys, and while pebble isn't big, they are definitely an established company. take some of your previous profits and put it to work.
That's a single app. Here's an example of my usage. I really like the information provided by the app SmartWatch+. It has to be constantly running in the background for all that info to get to the watch. My favorite running app, iSmoothRun is also installed. As soon as I open iSmoothRun and go for a run, SmartWatch+ is killed. After my run, I have to open SmartWatch+ again on my iPhone, then switch back to it on my Pebble. It's not that big of a deal, but it is a little annoying and a direct consequence of the Pebble not having deeper access to system resources (the developer for SmartWatch+ has a jailbreak app that is a little more deeply integrated), and I feel fairly certain we won't have this issue with the Apple Watch.
First of all - no one NEEDS a smart watch. But how anyone can make it a criticism to another individual for liking the idea of a watch that lasts more than a day is mind-boggling.
So if Apple offered one smart watch for $200 and had a one day battery life and then one for $350 - and had a 7 day battery life. You are saying the $350 would NEVER appeal to you? Just an example.
I'm curious have you ever owned a pebble watch? The pebble watch is highly underestimated. I brought a pebble watch a month back and it is highly functional for such low specs and the battery last almost a week.
Not only that a pebble cost $200 tops whereas iwatch is $400+.
The last one was not waterproof.
You can't argue reason or logic with a fair amount of people on this site.

Possibly, but the new pebble os is reorganizing things. Have you seen the video? I don't know for sure, but it might fix those issues for you. Anyway, I'm excited. I was thinking of buying a steel, but I like this so much better.
A little arrogant aren't we? Thinking you know what everyone on this planet needs and doesn't need.

Already pledged an early bird preorder!
On second thought, reading the comments section on the Verge, I'm having a bit of pledger's remorse...
I love my original pebble, but this personally adds nothing and looks worse IMO. I will buy an apple watch and keep my pebble on the sideline.
Side note: Kickstarter....really? I thought there were rules or something about being on kickstarter.
No, he's correct... nobody NEEDS a smart watch. It's a luxury item. Does anyone NEED a Lamborghini? No, if they need a car they could easily just get a Toyota. Your phone does everything a smart watch does. All the smart watch does is allows you to access a few features on your phone.
