Will you upgrade to Series 3??

[ItnStln]

Yep. Me too. But I personally much prefer using a watch.

As do I!

 

[ItnStln]

Yep. I'm into automatic watches. It fascinates me.

Automatic watches fascinate me as well. The movement is a piece of art in itself.

Still wearing my OG Space Gray 42mm with no problems. Battery doesn't last as long as it used to but I still get through the day, and charge it nightly. I MIGHT get the Series 3, or maybe just pick up a Series 2 on clearance. I haven't worn a watch in years until now. I'll probably never wear a "traditional" watch again.

Same here. Now that I've had a taste of smartwatches, doubtful that I'll go back. I've been using a smart watch since the original Pebble. Been a good few years.

Yes!!!
I LOVE horology.

It is a fun and expensive hobby to get into!

I was intrigued by the Pebble but never made the leap. I still have a Gear S2 Classic from the brief period where I used a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, but as you can imagine it doesn't see any use.

I've had the original Pebble and Pebble Time (which has been handed down to my daughter). Then I got the series 0 and now the series 2. I really can't imagine being without a smart watch.

Are you planning to upgrade to the Series 3 from the Series 2?

 

[tcuprof]

There's been talk of a series 3 AW releasing later this year. For those of you with the series 2, do you plan to upgrade or stay with what you've got?

At this point, the only rumored change is the addition of LTE. That wouldn't get me to upgrade.

 

[RHChan84]

Nope. From what I have read, better processor with LTE. No thanks. Not spending $400 on a new watch. I rarely use my watch for phone calls so no need.

Plus I am very happy with me series 2.

 

[Tartarus]

I am a first gen user but I will definitely upgrade to series 3

 

[Garz]

Maybe. I'll wait and see even it's announced to whether I think it worth it. I'll be honest, it must be a huge update for me to upgrade from my SS series 2.

If there's LTE I think I'd give it some serious thought. I'm basically oncall for work 24/7 and to be able to leave the house for a run without a phone is really appealing to me.

Rumours are saying that Apple won’t allow the Apple Watch to make phone calls on its own and that it will only have access to LTE and not 3G.
I understand and I can see how the addition of LTE can be very useful in your day to day life.

LTE says it all. It’s no VoLTE in the end. In other words, it’s a internet chip, not cellular calling chip (for lack of better wording).
Who needs calling through the ‘old’ ways anymore?

Most people have FaceTime, others have Skype, in other countries outside of US there is WhatsApp and so on and so on.
Calling with the watch will still be possible, especially since WiFi calling has become more common these days.

Too true. Actually if I can text without my phone, that would be great. I'll wait to see what's announced and see.

Since I still use the original, when the series 3 hits I may just grab the series 2 when the price drops.

 

[RobertP1]

I have the series 2 and it is phenomenal.. I couldn't ask for anything more. I am standing pat

 

[Mac Guy]

I'm hoping for price drops in the S1 and Nike+. S1 selections are getting thin, though. Channels appear to be clearing out.

But I think Apple will keep an entry level Watch and the S3 won't replace them. At least that's my hope. Unless Apple screws me and makes the S3 a Must Have at current or higher pricing. :cant-watch:

One thing though... If there's a current band you've been wanting, better grab it now as it may not make the cut for the next refresh.
