Either you have a really small wrist, or that watch is HUGE (I suspect the latter). -That being said, this is probably the nicest smart watch I've seen, and the only one I would consider, presently. Thanks for the informative write-up!

Exactly, I have a regular old wristwatch that lasts for years without the need to be charged and keeps excellent time. If I want to know what the weather is like, I can always just look outside.
For now these are just useless gadgets in my opinion.

I have a Pebble watch that is collecting dust at the moment...it's doubtful I could even find a buyer for it if I wanted to! No way in hell would I EVER spend $350 on a smart watch, much less on a piece of tech that: 1) provides very little added functionality, 2) sucks down the battery like a '70s Cadillac sucked down gas (I'd love to know how the OP got 3 days of minimal use out of the Pebble...mine drained within 12-14 hours of VERY minimal use) and 3) interferes with my car's bluetooth operation of my phone. I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen more articles on that point...when I still bothered to use my Pebble I could neither answer my phone via voice activation nor listen to Pandora without incredible skipping while in my vehicle. Until such time that all of these things are fixed and proven to be such, I'm going to quit while I'm behind and chalk up my Pebble purchase to dim-wittedness...
