Despite this, I find that Pebble has to go through a lot of hoops to make notifications work well. I can't respond to any notifications from the Pebble (especially iMessages) and there are times when the device just doesn't play well with the phone (dropped connections, for example).

The Apple Watch includes the ability to take notes, answer texts, make quick calls, all of which I would find useful. I wish it were more waterproof, as I like to take my Pebble swimming, so maybe I could use them both.
Thanks for the reply. I like idea of having the activity alerts. I too, think that the Apple Watch will work best with an iPhone and the rest of the Apple iEnvironment compared to the other watch offerings out there.
