Pebble Steel with leather strap headed to Best Buy for $229

Best Buy has announced that the Pebble Steel smartwatch will go on sale at the major retailer starting this Sunday in stores and immediately online.
The retailer has priced the watch at $229 and it will be available in the stainless steel and black matte options. However, the stainless steel band will not be available, just the leather strap. If you buy directly from Pebble, you get both bands for $250.

"Pebble Steel is an elegant follow-up to its predecessor and the second-generation, high-end smart watch is now as strong as it is sleek. And this Sunday, June 15, you can get your hands on it at all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores, in addition to finding it at BestBuy.com," reads the press release.

Best Buy also sells the original (and nerdier) version of the Pebble, which was a Kickstarter record holder for some time.
