I don't really think you're in the target demographic for a pebble at all. It sounds like you want a standalone device that's essentially a smartphone on your wrist. I know you say you don't want it to be a smartphone, but if you want battery-life, a GPS, and phone independence, that's the product you're going to get.

Pebble is (and was) more of a smartphone companion, it has basically no smart functionality on its own.

I suspect you might not be aware that certain things can be "turned off" on a smartwatch or a computing device, mobile or otherwise. But if you knew, then I do not know why you still made this comment.
