Was it mentioned anywhere about the battery life span? How many charges it can take before the watch can't be used anymore?

Think depends on what level of information you're comfortable with. If you absolutely need the information on your wrist without having to remove the phone then go pebble.

If you're okay with just being notified and then whip out your phone from your pocket to read, then go Cookoo.

IMHO, the Cookoo implementation is not exactly 'smart', more of just notifying you of incoming calls/messages. You can't do anything beyond that. I like the concept of user-replaceable battery though.

Pebble is more customizable and more akin to a smartwatch though not perfect.

Just my thoughts. Btw, there's other options also like Metawatch, Martian, etc..

You need to order through pebble web-site. They don't do retail yet.

You need to factor in the extra shipping too. Those who has bought through the site can confirm.

I think online there's some videos on Youtube that shows how to replace the leather strap with the metal one.

I think they should sell steel instead of leather since it's proprietary. Once leather is spoilt then getting a replacement will be difficult and expensive.

Moto 360 can also pair with iphone?

Definitely NO. Why would Google do that? Same for Apple Watch, why would Apple want to do that?

They're both competitors and will tie down the hardware to their own ecosystem.

So far, Pebble is the best choice and the safest if you would like to be on both Android and IOS without needing to buy 2 different watches for each OS.

But somehow I feel Pebble and its Pebble OS is somewhat outdated already. Just wondering what is Pebble's future plans now that the 2 major competitors have showcased their wares hmm.gif.

Anyone here that want to get the US$159 early bird deal, do watch out at their kickstarter page NOW because lots of people dropped their early bird deal to pledge for pebble time steel.

I just changed mine from $179 to $159 smile.gif

No one going the opposite way?

The difference is only the extra battery life?

It will be interesting if Android Wear really supports IOS in the future.
