[Q] What smartwatch should i get topic

Hey everyone! First of all I didn't see a Q&A forum so if this is in a bad spot sorry about that.

So I have been wanting to get a smartwatch and i have been stuck on deciding between the Sony smartwatch 2 and the Pebble Steel.
I have been looking everywhere, reading and watching reviews, but no one ever gives a good opinion on which is better. It seems like they end up weighing them out as even. For the Sony sw2 with the metal wristband it is currently 9 with free shipping. The Pebble Steel is 9 with free shipping that takes several weeks (so the site says) and may include import taxes.

I am currently using a Nexus 4, enjoy some small development, mainly looking for practical use, with a nice look.

Currently I am leaning towards the pebble steel. I don't know guys. Please share some of your opinions and thoughts, it would be appreciated!

Thanks! :eek:

Broken SMS on Smartwatch topic

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this or found a better application. The stock messaging app for the SW2 doesn't seem to do notifications on the watch. No unread counts, no notification with vibration, nothing. It makes it somewhat useless. Has anyone found a way to fix this? Is there a better app I can use instead of the stock one?
