A double winner – not bad for a smartwatch that's essentially DOA. Conventional wisdom says that buying a Pebble smartwatch is a terrible idea, given that the company has been shuttered after its buyout by Fitbit. But hear us out.
The latest and last update guarantees that smartwatches will continue to work even after the servers are switched off, and when it comes to buying on a budget, few can match the Pebble 2 for features and value.
Pebble's watch is smartphone agnostic, meaning you'll get the same experience on both Android and iOS. It's important to mention that, because even with Android Wear 2.0, iOS users must still make some concessions. With the Pebble, you needn't worry about that.
