That says more about iOS than about Pebble. Get an Android. The experience is much better.

But that requires changing your $600 piece of hardware in order to better serve your $200 one - let alone the other disruption changing platforms would bring.

Don't get me wrong, Android is the clear answer here but it's still difficult to justify switching. It would be great if Apple just opened up their smartwatch functionality, but alas...

Believe it or not, I actually went that route. My Pebble experience was better, but there's a reason I'm back on iOS. In retrospect, it was incredibly stupid to change my mobile OS just to support a watch. Shoulda just bought a different watch.

The only watch iOS gets along with is Apple's Watch. And that's the point. It locks you into Apple's ecosystem, being defective by design.
