Do People Still Buy Smartwatches? 

Literally a day after posting this, Pebble shut down. So, I guess I was on to something?

These Samsung Gear S3 is a freaking BeAsT and I'm loving it!

Smart watches should be standalone devices instead of depending on phones for everything....

I have just bought the Apple Watch Nike+ and I really like. I use it mostly for sports tracking (I am a triathlete) and contactless payments. I wish more smartwatches included NFC, decent HR sensors, and waterproofing, because those are the only things keeping me glued to my Apple Watch.

I still use my og Moto 360 for fitness tracking, music controls when I run and texting at work. There's an app that makes your phone like a bore scope which is very useful. Checking notifications on your watch saves you from having to pull your phone out every two seconds.

I think it's a total shame Pebble shutdown. A's you said in the video, charging a device everyday to get notifications on your wrist gets old really quick, especially with all the swiping involved with a touchscreen. Pebble had this right in that the battery lasts a week and you can actually dismiss/delete a notification much quicker with the buttons, barely even have to look at it. But it doesn't look as flashy as the bigger players, lack of funds have brought it to an end.

Moto 360 2nd gen. Got a sweet sweet deal just for $150. ✌✌

I've got a Pebble Time which I love. I mainly use it to display notifications from my phone but I only have to charge this about twice a week so it's a lot more convenient than the Moto360 that you showed. That's really key for me in smartwatches: They have to be at least as convenient as a regular watch would be, so the battery-sucking, water-permeable, flick-to-display designs that most companies are putting out are complete deal-breakers to me. It really sucks that Pebble's gone out of business, since they were the only ones that made smartwatches that were actually good.

Been using my Moto 360 1st generation pretty much since the day I bought it. I did have to recently replace my battery though and that was a huge pain haha.

I really love my fit bit mostly because large watches tend irritate me whether sitting in the fit bit is so small you hardly even know it's there

I'm still using my Moto 360 2nd gen. I've had it since it first came out and my usage hasn't really changed since then. I feel lost without it really.

Still using my Pebble, after owning my gen1 360 since launch.

I use my gear s2 every day. it works really well and is actually really useful. you don't realize how much you rely on it until the day you forget to wear it.

I bought the Moto 360 and I liked it for the most part. After a while I stopped using it. I have an iPhone so I bought an Apple Watch. I enjoy it a lot more

I use my Moto 360 1st gen and my Gear S2 on a daily basis. I like both the convenience and the looks that they provide. I'm looking into getting a S3 as well so I'm not dropping out anytime soon.

great video... glad you covered it bro! keep up the great work!

Not buying the new one, still rocking my apple watch first gen since Jan.

I use my 2nd Gen Moto 360 everyday, with a 3rd party Milanese Loop band (like the apple watch one) and I love it!

Austin confirmed WAVY

Intro song?

I use my Pebble 2 every day for the notifications and ability to voice-to-text back. I have an LG V10 with an Otterbox case, so it's annoying to get that brick out and check it constantly. Hope it doesn't lose that functionality anytime soon... 7-8 day battery life is very important to me. I wouldn't use a watch that I have to charge every day or two.

Still rocking my OG Pebble Time.

i want to buy a smartwatch that works with an Iphone and i dont want to buy the apple watch.Any ideas?

same...I stopped using my watch except for some occasions when I really want... wait for... a watch.

I use my 1st gen Moto 360 (same as yours in the video) with a steel band almost daily, but it's starting to get slow and is pretty scratched up so I'm thinking about getting a pebble round, mainly since it's round and has basically the same functions, with supposedly more juice and cheaper than a 2nd gen 360. I'm more interested in functionality and how it helps my routine, rather than having features that are useless to me, like the heart rate sensor, since I don't exercise that much and doing it with a steel band wouldn't make any sense hahaha

I miss my Moro 360 because of notifications. But I'm still glad that I sold it. I want an Apple Watch but I'm waiting for version 3

I still wear mine every day. Notifications are all I need, and I find that very useful.

Pebble all the way.....

I still use my Apple Watch mainly for notifications and of course checking the time. I think if the apps where more full featured and it was faster I would use it more. One thing I love about it is using Apple Pay.

Sad about Pebble. Your watch looks great on you though so thats a plus! I have an apple watch and Ive worn it every day since I got it a couple weeks ago. Im not even that techie but I still like it. The technology is great, I like not having to get my phone out to check the time or small notifications, I text quite a bit on it, I use it to track fitness and actually as my speedometer in my car because my gauge is broken and its a lot safer to look at my watch on my wrist instead of down at my phone for the speed. I think I will stick with it, and keep wearing it. I foresee smart watches becoming less bulky and more integrated. I personally think that we will be able to opt out of even carrying smart phones as bluetooth earphones become smaller and smartwatch technology moves to independency of the phone for cell and internet service.

I use mine for three reason. in order of importance: 1)notification 2)fitness 3) well... time

i haven't bought a smart watch yet due to the inconsistent battery life after a few months of use that plagues most of the smartwatches i would also prefer a cheaper data plan for smartwatches although i think the software is very nice and smooth transitions make it a very appealing item

I really love my fit bit mainly because it's so small that you hardly know that it's there

I'd buy one, but I can't find one that does everything I want from one. They all seem to be just an addon to phones and the ones that aren't are like super low quality. I hope this changes in the future. I would really like to get one. Especially when smartglasses become a thing. In the mean time, I have a U8, which is pretty fine though.

My life just isn't that busy, where I need to have one of these.

Nice analysis, i personally opted for a fitbit charge hr 2, it's more dicrete than a smartwatch and It has an actual function if you are trying to reach a fitness goal, which i am. For me smartwatches lack in real function and in a time like this your better giustify 300+ dollars for a Toy. If only smartwatches start to have SERIOUS health a fitness target they Will sell like Candy, but we are not there quote yet.

Dude your left elbow okay?

Use my Pebble every day. All I want is to get notifications without pulling out my phone and of course using it as a time piece. I don't want all the extras.

I agree it was cool at first.....then it got old very fast. I took mine back to best buy and got the credit for it lol

I'm feeling just like you, haven't worn my Pebble in the last 3 months , and for me smartwatches ain't that cool anymore

Nice video man, subbed

I was pretty excited when I got my Apple Watch too. But notifications doesn't really do it for me. I'm probably going for a pebble next time.

Sold my Gear S2 a few months ago because I just stopped using it

I wear my Moto 360 2nd gen everyday . why would anyone buy a fitness band when a watch does so much more .

yes had a pebble now have to change gonna try a ticwatch 2 (returned an amazfit already)

The biggest question I would ask is if you were wearing any sort of watch prior to a smart watch. If the answer is no than you prob just wore the smart watch because it's the new hip thing vs a product adding more functionality to your existing lifestyle

Rip Pebble, I loved my Round Time

I still use my pebble. Well kind of. Use it to cheat on test, load notes onto it and professors think i'm checking the time. #win

Answer: No Fitness specific smart devices: Maybe.

i don't like smartwatches. i feel like they need a lot more work put into them, it's just not that useful yet.

I'm using the Razer Nabu X. I use it for fitness but also for notifications . :p i feel like a watch would be in the way alot and you cant wear it all thr time.

I love smart watches I had a pebble then the first Samsung smart watch now both gen moto 360

For me a FitBit Charge 2 is just perfect for me!

I bought the moto 2nd gen earlier this year.

Asus Zen watch 2. best smartwatch I've ever used.

never bought one due to not really seeing the appeal for the price, i can just do everything off my phone.

I use my Pebble Time every day. It's a great watch, and the notifications are keen. I am a Watch person though. I have a bunch of regular watches, so it makes sense that I would get a smart watch. For people that aren't super into tech, or don't use a watch at all, a smart watch is not a good purchase. Looking forward to getting a Samsung gear 3 to to possibly becoming my new daily watch. If the cash becomes available and I catch a good deal, then I will add the Apple Watch series 2 in there as well.

I wear a Fitbit flex now but I'm a watch guy and I need the notifications to keep up with work. I'm probably getting Fitbit Blaze but I'm waiting for CES just in case. Either way I'm probably not leaving Fitbit because I love their app and their the only player with good battery life at a reasonable price point. #rippebble I did have a Pebble Time 2 preorder but we know what happened there. Terps

still g-shock for me!

RIP PEBBLE

Moto 360 firstgen and i wear it everyday

im still using my pebble

Do People Still Buy Smartwatches? No. They're going the way of the tablet. They all basically do the same thing and there's no need/demand to buy or upgrade smartwaches to the same degree as smartphones are purchased/upgraded. I still have my Microsoft Band and it works find for me. .

Dead. Dead as VR and stereoscopic 3D

Great video

If you are a watch wearer they are great..

Bromo mount on your watch . :)

the apple watch nave some probleme but jos watch don t nave this problems

i just got a 50 dollar one today I'm kinda regretting it it's decent but it's kinda a novelty

I love my moto 360

Never bought or acquired one because I saw no need for such an expensive "toy". I'd rather have some other kind of gadget that I could actually play with and enjoy more(think Vinci Headphones). Now that Pebble is no more I may get one of those dirt cheap just for the thrill of having the device.

I use a pebble

lg watch r👌👊 i love it

I still my gear2 and 360 first gen and many of my friends are using smart watches and Absolutley lover them my 2 roomates use them sono it hasn't died down i have a fitness and tech heavy group. Why buy a firbit when yippy can get a smart watch make no sense. Oh and its 2017 and Google is releasing 2 new smart watches tag mont blanc imperial armani has one so does lui vitton so your not onto anything people are loving smart watches.
