I'm going ahead when there is general availability. I would not have liked it if I would have missed this design bump while waiting for the older model to still arrive.

I love that it doesn't say Pebble on the bezel! I never wanted one before, but now I do. My only issue is that I have pretty small wrists and this watch would likely be too large for me.

Man I loved my Pebble but I’d say the three things I use my Apple Watch for most are: telling time (++), reading notifications (~), and getting Siri to set timers or control my Home Assistant* (—-).

But, it's not required, and t…
