And I do sort of. But there are some issues. I own a black Pebble Time and the bezel scratches way to easy. I have used it a month and I already have some small blemishes. I have a 10 year old Omega watch that cost 60 bucks and it has no blemishes. What can I say? It is what it is. The other big issue I have with it is if you are driving into the sun or the sun is low enough you need to use your cars visor, you will have a difficult to impossible time reading the display. This morning I knew what the message said however I was not able to make out the text. Apple functionality is pretty much limited to receiving messages from the phone, you are not able to send anything back through the phone from the Pebble. Android is able to do more. So if you're an Apple user I would say pony up another 150 and get an Apple Watch.
The glass is a dirt magnet. I go all day without cleaning my phone, no so much with the Pebble.
My last issue is regarding ANY watch. I'm not sure I want anything hanging on my arm anymore. I am so used to nothing on my wrist that sometimes I find it very annoying and take it off. Even though it'll go a week or so on a charge it's still yet another thing to charge and I have enough things to charge.
I would not recommend this to anyone. The technology while very cool in concept is a little rough in execution.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Quiet, fast, easy to setup, designed with adequate resources.
What's not so great: Bloatware, the cause of it losing one star in my rating.
This is a great system that would meet the needs of most home and business users. It's not the cheapest system because it really does have some nice features. Plenty of disk space, more than enough RAM, expansions slots (really!), both wired and wireless connectivity, and a quad core processor. I have no complaints whatsoever about the hardware.
I like Windows 8 but I use the free program called Classic Shell which adds the start menu back, it's like using Windows 7 again. It's free, get it now!
Bloatware, OMG. There is some graphic creating, DVD burning, picture printing software that takes over 30 minutes to uninstall. I bought a workstation, I don't want and will not use anything added on after the OS is installed. It clutters up the Start Menu. Don't make me have to remove additional stuff not in the description that I did not ask for or want.
All this being said, it's a great system I don't have any buyers remorse, and it works very well.
This product is... Perfect for Business, Inputs which I need, quiet, easy to set up, lightning fast, Sharp graphics
About me... Technology guru, Regularly process large video or graphics files, Business Professional
I would recommend this to a friend!

if i purchase a windows 8 can i have it changed to a windows 7 professional?

if you have a windows 8 computer can you convert it to a windows 7 professional version?
Not easily, you would be best off buying a system with Win7 installed. Win 8 is not so bad once you spend some time with it.

Is this good for video editing?

Yes, I would say so and cannot think of why it wouldn't be. You have plenty of drive space and power to process videos. I do video editing on mine.
