If you’ve been waiting for a deal on a Pebble smartwatch, Best Buy currently has the best deal we’ve ever seen on a Pebble. The big-box electronics retailer is offering the Pebble for a mere $99.99 – down from $149.99.
While not as full featured as some smartwatches, such as offerings from Google partners, or Apple forthcoming wearable, the Pebble offers an easy to read screen, along with multiple apps that work with your iPhone or Android device to deliver alerts and wrist-based apps to the device.

Also available is the high-end Pebble Steel smartwatch, a metal encased, more stylish version of the plastic Pebble. The Pebble Steel is available for $199.99, down from $229.99.
Pebble recently updated their smartwatches firmware to version 2.5. The update includes:
The discounted pricing on the Pebble smartwatches is for a limited time only, so if you’re thinking of buying one, you’d best get your virtual butt over to Best Buy before they’re gone.
