Well, I went from my pebble time to a garmin fenix, as it was the closest to a pebble as I could find. I don't use half the features it has because I didn't want them, but the physical hardware still adds battery drain and size to it, which isn't desirable, and makes even the 42mm size an absolute unit on my wrist. Also, it was multiple times the cost of what the pebble is. A current gen one with the MIP display is almost a grand - discounting the amoled/microled models as they've got an unacceptably short battery life.

The pebble is simple, only does what it needs to, and is indeed cheaper than any equivalent models out there. I'm absolutely looking forward to my new PT2 arriving

But it looks like a $5 Walmart G-Shock. I love my instinct 1, but I wish they would make one with the same features that looks different.
