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
Doesn't run all Pebble apps and watch faces
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
Solid, all-steel construction; boosted battery life should last over a week; 30 meters water resistant; always-on display; works with iPhone and Android phones

Pebble's step-up all-steel smartwatch has added battery life and a more durable feel, but it's basically a tiny upgrade to the less expensive Pebble Time...

It's the Pebble to buy, Works well as a watch, Great watch faces
Not as versatile as Android Wear or Watch, Big, big bezel and scratch-prone glass, Expensive
If you want a Pebble watch, the Time Steel is the one to buy. For $US100, you get a watch that fixes everything wrong with the Time, in a far more attractive package. If you can't stomach the extra cash, I'd seriously consider buying the original Pebble i...
Abstract: The Pebble Time is much less like a miniature smartphone than other smartwatches, and this is certainly not a bad thing.For starters, the Time does not have a touchscreen. It has a pair of buttons that let you select options and back out of menus, and ano...
"It's still a smartwatch that's simpler than most, and lasts just just about as long as any this this class, and loads longer than an Apple or Android watch."...
Abstract: Pebble's third smartwatch, the Pebble Time. Source: SuppliedThis might come as a surprise, but the best smartwatch for Android users wasn't developed by Google. For now, that honour goes to the Pebble Time, the latest from the company that pioneered the i...
Best look Pebble yet, Color epaper display, Extralong battery life, Works with iOS, Android
More expensive, Too much bezel, Limited colors so far, Longer wait time
Pebble Time Steel is the grown-up version of the new Kickstarter-backed smartwatch with stainless steel casing instead of plastic. It'll cost you more money and you'll have to wait, but that's the price of looking debonair....
The Pebble Time is a good smartwatch, made all the more attractive by its price. It is probably the least you can spend on a fully-fledged (there's some cheap tat out there) smartwatch, costing as it does the same as some high-end activity trackers. If yo...

Great battery life (for a smartwatch), Reliable for alerts, iOS and Android compatible, good price
Needs more quality apps, Screen can be tricky to read, Limited features
Ah, Pebble Time. It's a geek chic grower that will fit into your life if you're willing to overlook some shortcomings. It's comfortable, reliable and works with both iOS and Android so you can commit. Timeline is useful and can only get better, Pebble Hea...

Excellent battery life (for a smartwatch), iOS and Android compatible, Decent, reliable notifications
Needs more quality apps, Screen can be tricky to read, Lack of fitness features
The Time Steel is everything we've come to expect from Pebble - reliable, a bit geeky, easy to use - and more. It's the best-looking smartwatch Pebble has produced - some of the finish and strap combinations are honestly quite classy, and it's also the lo...
Is this the smartwatch that I recommend you rush out and buy right now?I think this is a good question to use to round off this review.But before we get to that, we need to address why you the user want a smartwatch? Do you want a notification tool that...
