I use a Pebble and also have an LG G Watch (Android Wear).
Not all smartches are "dumb", only the good ones. Normal watches are also "dumb": all they do is tell the time and show off as dad's jewelry. Most smartwatches try to do too much "smart" stuff stuff but end up doing badly the dumb watch part.
I am referring to the Android Wear, Samsung-Tizen and Apple Watch. They are horrible because they don't even do right the "dumbness" of normal watches: they're easily not visible in bright light, are bad at telling the time (screen is off most of time, doesn't always turn on easily), are not waterproof, battery lasts just one day...
The Pebble is ugly as a cheap toy, but does the watch job decently and a little more. This little more is not essential but it is very convenient.
