    How do you like the pebble? i have a blackberry so i cant get any of the android watches, but the lack of a touchscreen seems a bit to much to sacrifice.

      I love my Pebble Time. Before my G watch I had an original Pebble. For me the lack of touchscreen isn't an issue, since I live in a nice cold climate where gloves are worn often, so the physical buttons are nice.

      Oh yeah, the 5+ day battery life is quite nice as well. I'm also interested in seeing what smart straps are thought up for the PT.

      I love my original Pebble. I love that any idiot with a passing understanding of programming can create watchfaces, or even crude applications.

      And the battery lasts almost a week. So you're not hosed if you go away for a weekend, and forget to bring your watch-charging cable (a sentence that feels stupid as I type it).

      I don't own a Pebble Time, but an original Pebble. In the beginning I had the same concerns, but in practice the hardware buttons work just fine (for me) and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. For some tasks they are more convenient also, like skipping music tracks using Music Boss for example. The key here is that the buttons can be operated without looking at the screen.
