The editors didn't like

  • Weight makes it less than ideal for running
  • Metal band won't look as a good on female wrists
  • Price may be too high
  • Nonstandard watch band
  • The price might scare away thrifty shoppers
  • But they'd be best steered toward the original Pebble
  • The app store is a little rough around the edges
  • Some developers still think we want to type on our watches
  • Just receives notifications
  • Requires proprietary charger
  • May be a bit big for some wrists
  • Seeming lack of app store curation
  • Cheap construction details (bracelet
  • Leather
  • And the sharp bezel edge around the screen)
  • Display is fairly low resolution
  • Expensive
  • A bit pricey
  • Annoying 8-app limit
  • Older technology compared to competition
  • Onboard storage limited to eight apps at a time
  • Still requires charging twice a week
  • Lacks heart-rate monitor or more advanced fitness features
  • 0 price tag is a bit much for a glorified smartphone remote. We wish it had touchscreen display instead of buttons
  • Apps could be better integrated
  • All-or-nothing notifications on iOS
  • Price
  • Sharp Steel Bezel
  • Pebble Branding
  • Limited to only 8 apps at a time
  • Monochrome display
  •  Not compatible with aftermarket straps
  •  iOS notifications could be better
  •  Materials and straps aren't ideal for fitness purposes

  • I like how Pebble's watches keep it simple. They're watches with slight upgrades, and don't try to do too much. One day, perhaps even one day soon, we will be strapping crazy sensors all over our bodies, including our wrists, and Pebble's approach might s...

  • It's puuuuurty. The Pebble Steel's main goal is just to look more respectable than the nerd-toy it is, and it pulls that off wonderfully. Between the two bands included, it's easy to find the setup that works for you. And on top of that, the nice-looking
  • Most of my quibbles with the Pebble are small, but they're magnified all the more considering everything around them is so stupid simple and good. You can't customize how long a notification stays on the screen, for instance. Notifications auto-dismiss af
  • If you want a smartwatch that doesnt look terrible and you want it right now, then sure. The Pebble Steel is pretty much the only option out there that combines the best notifications-on-your-wrist-ness of a smartwatch, the style of a legitimate piece of...

  • Comfortable, looks like a real watch, Five day battery life, iOS and Android compatible, App store has bags of potential
  • More expensive than original Pebble, Screen could be a bit bigger
  • Did we mention the Pebble Steel is the best smartwatch you can buy? Well it is.Nothing's perfect - we'd like a slightly bigger (colour e-paper?) screen to fill the watchface and give some of Pebble's new apps room to breathe, storage space for more apps a...

  • I'm not the first person to make this comparison, but I'll repeat it anyway. The state of smart watches today feels a lot like the state of smartphones before the original iPhone launched in 2007. The Pebble Steel does what it promises to do — deliver not...

  • Estamos acostumbrados a que los grandes fabricantes sean quienes lideren la innovación tecnológica en muchos sectores. Sin embargo, de vez en cuando hay compañías con un perfil más discreto que nos enseñan que los pequeños también pueden convertirse en re...

  • La renovada estética en metal consigue su objetivo, que es hacer que el Pebble no parezca tanto un juguete para geeks, y sea un dispositivo apetecible por alguien no tan tecnológico. Para hacer las cosas mejores, el sistema de enganche de la esfera es
  • No se puede configurar cuanto tiempo queremos que duren las notificaciones en la pantalla, y el tiempo que tardan en desaparecer es quizá demasiado largo. Para quitar las notificaciones acumuladas hay que pulsar un botón, y no siempre tenemos la otra m
  • Si quieres un smartwatch con un buen aspecto y lo quieres ya, adelante. El Pebble Steel es un gran smartwatch, y su mejor talento está precisamente en la sencillez y en la falta de prestaciones innecesarias que a la postre funcionan mal.AdvertisementSi no...

  • El Pebble Steel es un reloj muy bonito a la vista, con una construcción de alta calidad. Sus muchísimas aplicaciones pueden activarse fácilmente desde apps en iPhone o Android. Y, al fin, ya hay una tienda de aplicaciones dedicada
  • Cuesta US$100 más que el Pebble original, a pesar de que tiene básicamente el mismo 'hardware'. Solo permite guardar ocho 'apps' al mismo tiempo. No tiene micrófono, bocina, pantalla táctil ni pantalla a color
  • Es elegante y funcional a la vez. El Pebble Steel da un salto gigante y se coloca a la delantera en el mundo de los relojes inteligentes, pero lo hace mejorando lo que ya tenía en lugar de poner cosas totalmente nuevas....
