    Nice. I wish DSE would start selling the steel.

  • bchliu on 15/11/2014 - 08:37

    Wow.. how low can you go? BEAT10, 15 and 20. Does this drop down to free if you wait long enough? :)

    I've had one of these for over a year or so now. I love it and use it 24/7. I use it for screening calls, and txts, and activity tracker during day, and sleep tracker at night. Oh, and for telling the time using any of a number of cool looking watch faces.

    Everyone should buy one at this price!

    good price! i love mine had it for about 3 weeks now, although having some odd battery issues where it goes completely flat overnight despite having lie 30-40% bat left

    • Mahogany Granger on 16/11/2014 - 08:20

      Turn off "motion: shake to light", and try not to use a watch face that has a seconds timer. Both these things drain battery quickly. Mine lasts 8 days on average. If your battery is still bad get it exchanged for another one.

  • billybrown on 15/11/2014 - 09:38

    Do other notifications such as whatsapp and fb messenger, snapchat etc also come up?

    • tiggyspawn on 15/11/2014 - 09:59

      Yep! I don't use WhatsApp, but I definitely get Fb messages on my pebble.
      You can pretty much set any notifications to appear on it.

  • tiggyspawn on 15/11/2014 - 10:01

    I love my pebble, but don't get a red one! It makes it look even MORE like a toy… Pebble steel is definitely the best way to go, if you can afford it.

    • sane on 15/11/2014 - 10:07

      It's a pity the Pebble Black isn't at the same price.

      However, at this point its beginning to be a sensible buy - pity the Android Wear stuff isn't anywhere close.

      Try 'Gym Timer' app from Pebble, great for the weight training aspect of the gym. This alone makes it worth the $99 i paid for mine.

  • sandshrew on 15/11/2014 - 11:17

    Tempting but as I've never used BT on my iPhone I'm concerned how using the Pebble will affect my battery life.

    Can anyone share if there is a noticeable difference in battery life when constantly paired with the Pebble?

    • theray on 15/11/2014 - 11:20

      with my iPhone 6+, I haven't seen a major difference in battery life.

      • Jackson on 15/11/2014 - 14:11

        With my brand new massive phone with long battery life, it doesn't affect me :-P

    • scrimshaw on 15/11/2014 - 11:27

      Difference is pretty negligible.

    • andy19363 on 15/11/2014 - 12:49

      you tend to use your phone less, so it kind of evens out….

    • jong on 15/11/2014 - 13:55
      +1

      It's low-power Bluetooth (not the normal Bluetooth), so it's pretty small.

  • theray on 15/11/2014 - 11:19

    In case you don't like the Red colour but don't want to miss out on the online price, once it was delivered, I went to my local DSE store (Doncaster Shoppingtown) with the unopened item & invoice, and a staff member was nice enough to swap it for a Black and reprint the receipt.

    Your results may vary.

    • dizitalart on 15/11/2014 - 11:38

      nice trick, thanks.

    • grab_ur_freebies on 15/11/2014 - 12:41
      +1

      Good idea, but wouldn't it have been easier to just make a c&c order then when picking up, ask them if you could swap for a black one? It'd save you $5 on the postage.

    • shawn_low on 15/11/2014 - 14:03

      Surprised they allowed this as the black retails for $119 vs $99 for Red! Good score though!

    • tetsuma on 15/11/2014 - 15:37

      You're talking past-tense, before the deal. You'd have to pay the difference with a receipt from this.

  • viki8702 on 15/11/2014 - 13:19

    can anyone recommend for custom skin, where to buy?

    • lanriver on 15/11/2014 - 13:28

      Ordered one from ebay US, costs appox $9-10 with delivery. There also have similar skin cheaper from ebay UK, about $11 for 2, but just taking longer delivery time.

      • viki8702 on 15/11/2014 - 13:52

        Can you share the link please?

        • shawn_low on 15/11/2014 - 14:09

          There's an Aussie seller on ebay.com.au. Just search for Pebble skin. $5 incl shipping from Pakenham, Vic.

          Only plain solid colours, nothing fancy. The black one looks like it has a carbon fibre look.

      I had some spare vinyl so I cut out my own today.

      Have you got the ready for pickup notice yet? The store said they have never received this order and the online customer service told me my order status is still in "payment review". weird.

        Was processed within an hour, sorry mate.

        • FutureTech on 17/11/2014 - 18:39

    I've had the black for a week, and love it. Just returned it to DS citing 'poor battery life' of the black model and bought the red. ) Didn't get the super deal but still saved $30.

    They're a great watch for the price. Ergonomics are iffy and the iPhone has a BT tantrum now and then. But it does everything I want it to do for a good price point.

  • auna on 15/11/2014 - 17:56

        Pfft. I am obviously locked to the Note line as noone has even attempted to compete.

        My battery life is 3 to 5 days not one day. It's actually colour.

          So, since you are comparing the 3 items, are they all available for around the same price?

          +1

          Yeah, I used a Gear Live for a couple of weeks and decided I didn't want a watch which had a constantly-glowing screen (and particularly an AMOLED one which will develop burn-in).
          The Pebble and Gear units are basically slightly different use cases (in my opinion).

        • PainToad on 16/11/2014 - 06:49

          Sony Z Ultra, OnePlusOne and Nexus 6 all compete and destroy Samsung's tacky ugly mess (hardware and software).

          @PainToad:

          None of those have an S Pen. None of those have a Quad HD Amoled display. In which way do they attempt to compete? Having on screen buttons to waste screen resolution?

          @auna:
          SPen: 90s gimmick
          Amoled: Terrible over the top colours
          Physical buttons: Outdated technology, use PieControls.
          Samsung: Hipsters new 1st choice.

        • 2be8 on 16/11/2014 - 19:43

          I should point out that had I been able to buy an Android Wear unit for $177 (which is the lowest price I've seen for the Gear Live) but with a Qualcomm Mirasol colour e-ink display rather than AMOLED, I would certainly have bought that rather than a pebble. The visible-without-glowing-screen is a big thing for me, obviously.

    Grabbed one and I am somewhat liking it.. I found that I was having issues with Strava on it, it did not keep updating live data.. other than that, seems fine. I will find an alternative app for cycling instead.

    • MissMurd3r on 16/11/2014 - 17:54

      That's great. Not sure what that really has to do with a Pebble watch, though. Especially since what you got is nearly $100 dearer.

  • Minotaur on 16/11/2014 - 11:09

    Love the look of the Steel but it's soooo much more expensive than the standard. Anyone reckon it's worth the extra price?
    Also the Pebble's BT uses a low power Bluetooth 4.0 profile if the phone supports it which apparently makes a big difference to battery life on both devices.

    • PainToad on 16/11/2014 - 12:02

      Buy a steel band. That's my plan.

      • Minotaur on 16/11/2014 - 12:16

        Yeah I intend to if I do go the Steel, the leather band looks horrible on it lol.

  • dan76n on 16/11/2014 - 13:27

    Will my phone still connect to my cars BT if I'm using a smart watch like this?

    • MissMurd3r on 16/11/2014 - 17:54

      I cannot think of any reasons why it would not, though I cannot say for sure.

    • sane on 16/11/2014 - 19:40

      In theory yes, the connection to the car is audio channel based, whereas the connection to the watch is human interface/notifications. They are quite separate intents.

      I say in theory, since Android is a bit buggy in the bluetooth department (history from the great switch) and things don't necessarily work right. However, since this is right in the Google Wear homeground, I expect they have this working.

    • lanriver on 16/11/2014 - 20:47

      I can confirm that both the Blue Ant S3 Speaker & Pebble works perfectly together, at least for me. :)

  • shmahoo on 17/11/2014 - 09:37

    My Black Plastic Pebble is struggling today. The screen is failing (I think they call it "tearing") and so far Pebble Tech Support have been very agreeable via email.

    Fingers Crossed!

    • FutureTech on 17/11/2014 - 14:47

      I had a problem with my display today also. All jumbled and unreadable. Turned it off and on again & all OK. It's only couple of weeks old so hope not a sign of things to come.

  • PainToad on 17/11/2014 - 19:02

    Check out Notification Center. Its been updated to use Google Wear notification actions on Pebble, ie. replying to messages.

  • wobba79 on 17/11/2014 - 21:21

    Bought a black last DS deal posted on OB for $109-. Love the watch. Saw Red was $99- looked for code & saved $15- last Friday. Could have saved a further $5- with this but no regrets. Now I have a spare! Plastic screen will scratch easy but really couldn't live without it now.
