Comment on What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch?

The Pebble watches. They may not be made anymore, but they are the only smart watches I have used that felt like an actual smart watch instead of a phone for your wrist.

Isn't the point of making a watch smart is that you can get your phone onto your wrist?

  In some ways yes, but I think a smart watch is optimal for performing tasks quickly and and giving me information at a glance. A smart watch should feel like a dashboard on my wrist that stops me from using my phone unnecessarily. Most smart watches feel like a small second display for my phone with a worse user experience that make me want to always perform those tasks on my phone.

It is still the best "dumb" smartwatch out there. Long battery life, physical buttons, no touch screen nonsense and it just works.

I am still rocking my Pebble2 but unfortunately the silicon buttons are starting to deteriorate. It will be difficult to make repairs/upgrades to the watch, but I don't see a 1to1 replacement for it.
