Anyone on the fence about the Pebble watch or the Pebble Steel will be happy to know that the cross-platform devices are now available for $50.00 less. As an added bonus, there's also new functionality for background tracking for fitness and sleep. This should make the devices even more enticing. Pebble is the company that really put wearables and smartwatches on the map and while the hardware has remained unchanged since release, there have been constant software updates making the watch even smarter. This means the classic Pebbles sell for US $99.00 and the Steel sell for $199.99.

Pebble's appstore features over 4,000 applications. There are also more than 18,000 developers on the Pebble platform. Is the pricing good for you?
