The killer feature here is something that no one is talking about! >We've included a soft silicone band with each Pebble Time, but all standard 22mm watch bands will fit. All new Pebble watch bands include a quick-release pin, letting you swap bands in under 10 seconds. Standard watch bands is something that most other wearables aren't embracing. This makes the Pebble significantly more enticing.

  Yes, the original Pebble works with any standard 22m band.

My original KS Pebble uses a regular band that I got off Amazon for $12. I'm not much of one for swapping bands regularly, but putting on a band of my choosing is not a great feature, it's just what I expect out of a watch. It's like telling time is a "killer feature". I'm more disappointed when other wearables (including the Pebble Steel) don't have this.

Some of the Android Wear devices support standard 22mm bands as well. I had a custom one on my LG G Watch, but am staying with the stock band with the Moto 360 (since the one it shipped with is actually quite nice)

I bought a replacement metal band for my Galaxy Gear. No clue if it was standard, but certainly replaceable.

This is false. The Asus ZenWatch, moto360, LG G Watch, LG G watch R all use standard 22mm bands.

  But not 'quick release'?

    That's a feature of the band not the watch.

The fact that standard bands can be used is great. The fact that most watch bands are painfully incompatible with <insert your laptop here> wristrests is laughable in this day and age. Watchbands need to be reengineered if these companies want people to wear them for more then the first few weeks. Source -- love my pebble but only after suffering with that stupid buckle for months, stopped wearing it and then finally found a buckle free band.
