You're missing the utility it provides if you use specific applications built for the watch. I have built tennis and squash scoring apps.
I wear the watch day to day, however I get most value from the watch by keeping track of my racquet sport games from my wrist.
Not sure if you've played before but after a couple intensive rallies it is really easy to forget what the score was, or where the next serve needs to be from. There are plenty of other custom applications people can use to assist them in day to day activities. Something my friend has mentioned is when riding his scooter, he can use google maps without looking at his phone because the notifications are pushed to his pebble... |

I started out liking the alerts for using google maps, but ended up finding it intensely annoying when driving in the city since there ended up being far too many notifications when going through roundabouts etc (approaching, turn off roundabout, distance to next turn).
Relatively minor annoyances (including double notifications sometimes when unlocking) compared to the utility I get from it though.
The funny thing is I read all this stuff about people disliking the look of the plastic Pebble, but all I've heard from people who see it has been positive (I don't wear it as a dress watch though).
