Looks like this will finally get me to jump on the smartwatch bandwagon; the original Pebble didn't really do it for me. The new interface is looking great and the week worth of battery is nice, especially since most LCD smart watches need to be charged every night.

I have to admit they did a good job with the new watch, adding color is great and still having the week of battery is huge. I was one of the early supporter for the first Pebble and have zero regret. It did convinced me of how useful a smart watch can be. I will be a little bit sad when replacing it with the Apple Watch when it comes out: I decided to change ship, but the Pebble will always have a special spot.

It's great to see they have a strong supporter base, and that will force Apple and others to stay active and compete.

I will for sure miss the long lasting battery of my Pebble!

You talk good about the Pebble Watch but still you want to replace it with an Apple Watch. Are there any interesting reasons for this decision you might want to share?

Same. At roughly £100 for the earlybird with shipping to the UK it's just about cheap enough that I can buy it, play with it for a bit and give it away to someone else, if I'm not happy with it when it arrives.

It looks good enough that it will probably find a place to stay in my life anyway...

This type of display is definitely a must. The size and build seem to be quite nice as well. Only (from a first glance) dealbreaker for me is the price. I'd guess half from what it is. Sure they have to pay a lot of R&D not relevant to producing a single unit, but with a run of 40k JUST for this KS campaign? It's just too much.

edit: Now it seems that the stock will run out by the end of the day :)
