Unlike the sibling posts, I have automatic backlight turned off and it regularly lasts a minimum of 5 days. On the fifth or sixth night, I charge it over night and I'm back at it.

With respect to "OK Google," more often than not, I find myself in places where talking to my watch would strike me as obnoxious: the office, outdoors, the subway, an elevator. Sure it's quick, but again, a button press or two strikes me as being more effective in those situations. I really would only think of using voice commands in my own home, or in the car. I guess it's all a matter of personal preference... I know exactly how the UI of the Pebble app works, and exactly what it's going to do in a certain amount of time when I press a particular button, which feels pretty seamless to me.

Lest I only say good things about Pebble, I have to mention that in a little over a year of ownership I'm on my 4th one: 3 RMAs due to persistent screen defects. This 4th one should be sent back, too, but I've yet to get around to the RMA process again. Two of the RMAs were within 1 year of purchase, and one was beyond, so my credit goes to their customer service.
