I could pay for coffee and 2FA my googles like a boss on my Pebble.

On the Apple Watch it's a chore, but as a fashion accessory it's no comparison.

Plus both my pebbles developed screen issues, shame Apple drank their milkshake.



It's way easier to do both of those things on an Apple Watch.

Starbucks POS's accept Apple Pay; invoking it on the Watch is really easy (double tap the side button; hold near screen). Authy 2FA works well on the Watch as well; app-based 2FA like LastPass Authenticator and Okta work EXTREMELY well on it (better than the Pebble, at least on iOS). Google app 2FA sucks on iOS; I'm assuming it's better on Android.
