I wish I could say the same thing about my Pebble. It constantly disconnects from my phone and Pebble's support take 5+ days to respond with boilerplate.

Right now it's an overpriced plastic non-smart watch that I have to charge every four days.

I occasionally have this issue; seems like a firmware bug to me. Doing nothing else but turning off the Pebble for a few minutes and then turning it back on resolves it for me. Anything else (cycling bluetooth on phone, the pebble, etc) doesn't help. Rebooting it in this way usually gives me a week of uninterrupted connectivity. I'm an iPhone 5 user.
Which phone are you using? I haven't experienced any issues like that with my iPhone 5S. Charging is a pain, but I've given up trying to make it last multiple days and just started charging it every night when I plug in my phone.
I'm using an iPhone 5.

I don't really have a problem with charging, it's just that it doesn't offer any advantages over a normal digital watch right now and it still has to be charged every few days.

I've tried a lot of things to get it to behave and at this point I'm pretty sure my Pebble is broken. I would seek an RMA but Pebble support is like a brick wall.

I only need to charge mine once a week.
