Not as unique as it was a year ago
Shorter battery life than previous Pebble watches
Not water resistant for swimming
Expensive for what it offers

Design doesn't look much different than the less-expensive non-steel Pebble Time
Can't make phone calls
Fitness tracking is less accurate than rival wearables
Most notifications are too skimpy
No way to reply to email from watch
Can't do much with microphone
Cannot reply to notifications from watch
Microphone functionality limited
App store needs curation
Little reason to upgrade
Thick bezels
Same iffy notifications
Turns out design does matter
Pebble. The Time's screen and hardware both leave a lot to be desired. The interface is cutesy at the expense of being useful. If you're an iPhone user
Forget about it
Creaky hardware
Limited iOS capabilities
Limited voice control
Screen still has quite a bit of body and bezel around it
Not very easy to find good-looking replacement bands
IOS functionality is limited
Voice function doesn't extend to Google Now or Siri

Shorter battery life than previous Pebble watches, not water resistant for swimming, expensive for what it offers, doesn't run all Pebble apps and watch faces

To sum things up, the Pebble Time is an absolute fun and intimate watch that I find myself using more often than other smartwatches. Pebble's decision to retain the non-touch interactivity makes it a very unique wearable compared to Android Wear or Apple...

More grown-up design, Choice of bands, Longer battery life
Thick bezels, Same iffy notifications
The Pebble Time Steel is £50 more than the original Pebble Time (which costs just £179) and for that price you get a more grown-up design and even better battery life.However, those chunky bezels are all the more obvious here, and if you want the go full-...
