My honest opinion on the Pebble Smartwatch.

Ripping open the paper on my birthday presents yesterday, I found a small box. In this small box was a smart watch - a Pebble. More specifically, an orange one.

Putting the watch on my wrist, it seemed very light. And it was. Almost 2 days of constant wearing later, it's still not uncomfortable. I finished unwrapping my other presents and grabbed my phone. Setup was painless on my Galaxy S4 Mini. I loaded a few apps on there. All of them worked first time. Feeling happy, I wore it all day yesterday.

Fast forward to today. Hearing it was waterproof, I took it in the shower. Kept on going. I tried the buttons. All of them worked. I finished washing, and dried it off. Of course, it was soaked and still working.

The screen may seem a bit small at first, but it's actually a good size. It isn't so big that it swamps your wrist, and not so small you need to squint to see it.

The vibrator motor in it is also just right. It buzzes strongly, but isn't like your great-uncle giving you a firm handshake.

All in all, the Pebble is a reasonably affordable smartwatch with a great selection of apps.
