I received my Time 2 recently.

The original Time was my first smartwatch, which I used for maybe 7 years, until decided to sell it after briefly switching to iphone.

Since then I was constantly looking for something similar in terms of capabilities and battery life.

I pre-ordered my Time 2 immediately after it opened, but since then I started regretting my decision. It's quite an expensive watch, and I got used to living without it, so it the spending seemed unjustified.

But all regrets went away when I received the package. It's a good product. Excited for you too!

But its so cheap compared to other watches, analog watches I mean. And it is also competitively priced against other smartwatches, isn't it? The price really shouldn't feel all that bad.

I wear an analog watch; I've never spent over $200 on a watch, despite being a bit picky (I insist on a day-of-week feature).

Seiko doesn't seem to make the movement in my watch anymore (5M83), but the equivalent automatic-winding mechanical watch can be had for under $200 still.

Casio and Citizen sell analog watches for under $100.

Sure. Also the Chinese watch brands offer good mechanical watches for even under $100, or for not much more (steeldive for example, or pagani), I'm aware.

But there are also a lot of watches that are more expensive, way more expensive than the pebble. Plus the typical price for the smartwatches, I just checked the Samsung galaxy watch, over 300€. The pebble looks fine there.

You're right, that's just my perspective.

I've been on Amazfit Bip S. That's 10% of the price if we account for taxes and delivery.

And I haven't even considered the vast majority of alternatives due to (IMO) ugly OLED screens. Wouldn't buy any of those even for 30$, but you're right, they can be quite expensive.
