Pebble Smartwatch Officially Available In Singapore
So after more than a year after I got my Pebble, Pebble Smart Watch is now officially available in Singapore.
It is being brought in by Leader Radio Technologies (LRT) and that makes LRT the sole distributor of Pebble in Singapore.
The Pebble had been made available since Monday, 26th May 2014 and is retailing for S$249 at these stores:
- Challenger 1
- Courts 1
- Digital Style 1
- DG Lifestyle
- EpiCentre
- EpiLife 1

1 Selected stores
If you are a member of Challenger or EpiCentre/EpiLife, you will get a 5% discount at the respective stores.
Pebble L Collection
LRT also brought in the Pebble’s L Collection, a limited edition range with only 800 units produced worldwide. It features a polished white exterior accompanied with interchangeable genuine cowhide leather straps in Aspen White and Midnight Black.
The Pebble L Collection will be retailing for S$279 and will be exclusively sold at selected EpiCentre and EpiLife stores from 26th May to 26th June 2014.

pebble.sg
If you bought a Pebble in Singapore from the above-authorized retailers, you automatically qualified to join the pebble.sg Club. It is an exclusive club for Pebble owners in Singapore. pebble.sg is designed to be a platform for Pebble’s fans to discussing all things Pebble, the club also provides members with access to yearly Pebble events, discounts on Pebble accessories, and a whole suite of after-sales services.
Here are the perks:
- Invitation to 2 pebble.sg yearly events
- 20% off tailor-made leather straps at 310 Woodland Leathercraft
- 30% off original Pebble accessories (Available at the Pebble/LRT office in Singapore)
- 2 free watch surface polishing services (Worth $100)
- Exclusive after sales support service
If you bought your Pebble watch from Kickstarter or getpebble.com, you have to pay S$60 to be part of the pebble.sg Club.
Closing Thoughts
getpebble.com is selling the Pebble at US$150 which is about S$195 using an exchange rate of S$1.3 = US$1 (which is roughly the credit card exchange rate as of May 2014). Delivery to Singapore is free using USPS and it takes about 3-5 days.
So by paying S$54 (S$249 – S$195) extra, you will get to enjoy all those perks of being in the pebble.sg Club as well as local warranty.
Not too sure about you guys, but I will still order from getpebble.com because the price in Singapore and its benefits doesn’t really entice me. Besides, now is a bad time to get Pebble Watch because I am sure there will be smarter watches coming out this year like the Android Wear and the rumored Apple’s iWatch.
