I'm looking to my viewers to answer the question what Smartwatch can beat or replace the Pebble. I'm talking specifically about Smartwatches. Not fitness trackers, not exercise tools, etc. I'm talking about an everyday assistant that:
- makes it easier to get through the day
- makes it easy to communicate
- no power or battery worries
- always easy to see and interact with
- and does it all with grace, and perhaps even a bit of fun.
I don't care about heart rate tracking, afib, O2 tracking, reminder to get up and walk, or anything having to do with exercising - because when I DO exercise, I put on an exercise shirt, running shoes, and a fitness tracker with GPS and heartrate monitoring so I can stay in my zone, while exercising, and know where I ran, and how fast I ran each mine. I use a fitness device when I'm exercising.
The rest of the time, I want a Smartwatch that makes it super easy to do what I want to do - through intuitiveness, ease of use, customizability, and, dare I even say it, a bit of fun. Watching my Pebble charge with the icons of a coffee cup being makes me smile, because it's funny.
Absolute requirement, at least a week of battery, and an always on display that doesn't shine all night, and is readable in direct sunlight. Vibrations I can actually feel and use as a morning alarm. Tactile buttons I can use to do simple, everyday tasks without forcing me to stare at the screen.
What do you think can beat The Pebble? (if anything)
Let me know.
