I'd second Garmin. To me the killer features of my Pebble were the lack of a touchscreen, the long battery life from the passively lit display, and the ability for developers to write their own software - all qualities that the Garmin line possesses.

The only downside of the Garmin devices is the extra fitness sensors (gps, hrm, pulseox) which not all Pebble users might want. As a runner and cyclist myself these features are all upside, but not everybody will use them and they add to cost / size.

I can recommend the forerunner series. I have the 945 which is marketed at runners but it has the same features as their other high end devices, just in a smaller and lighter plastic case.
