Amazon is bringing a limited period discount on Pebble smartwatch by offering a $20 store gift card, $1 off the normal selling price and free shipping. The offer is only valid through Black Friday.
The list of items adding to the wearable tech category is slowly ramping up. In a market where smartwatches didn't grab much attention, the Pebble smartwatch stands apart with its relatively low price. Some of us may have already got our units through the Kickstarter campaign last year, but most shoppers are still having second thoughts about grabbing the wearable tech.
If price was the deal breaker for some of you, then Amazon has solved that. The online retailer is offering the Pebble smartwatch at a dollar less than what it usually retails for, but wait there is more. On purchase of each smartwatch, you will get a $20 Amazon gift card. Shop around Amazon for something worth that and strike off another present off your Christmas gift list.
Buyers can choose from either red or black for their Pebble, which is on sale for $148.99. Since the offer is a Black Friday exclusive, the Pebble will revert back to its usual price after Friday.
Pebble is planning to stay at par with its rival smartwatches, Samsung Galaxy Gear and recently announced Qualcomm Toq. Initially, the low-price smartwatch did not offer the best of features but with the launch of a new software development kit 2.0 and an updated companion iOS app, the watch is set to make its customers happy. Pebble offers seven days of battery life on a single charge, similar to Toq and giving it an upper hand on Gear.
Well, if you want some real savings instead of Amazon's gift card then you are in for a treat. Pebble itself is offering the smartwatch via its website for $130. Choose your favorite color, red, black, orange or white, but be sure to place your order by the end of the day.
