The editors didn't like

  • Not as unique as it was a year ago
  • Shorter battery life than previous Pebble watches

  • 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

  • App store needs curation
  • Little reason to upgrade
  • Thick bezels

  • 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

  • Can only choose one app for activity tracking
  • Pricey for what it offers

  • Screen perfectly viewable outside (always on display), Simple, clear and tothepoint OS, Battery life longer than the competition's, Compatible with Android and iOS, Choice of voice or canned responses to texts (Android only), Overall build / comfort
  • Brightness and viewability in good conditions could be better managed, Proprietary charging, iOS functions less complete than Android's, Watch frame tarnishes easily, MultiOS doesn't include Windows Phone
  • Although the OS and the watch's overall shape are different, the Pebble spirit remains unchanged on the Time. The color screen is a welcome addition, and the display is still as visible outdoors, trouncing the competition. Battery life is also better than...

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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...

  • Abstract:  The original Pebble smartwatch blessed your wrist with plenty of what we've come to expect from modern smartwatches, including notifications, reminders and app integration, and the company's come a long way since its humble Kickstarter beginnings. The ori...

  • Excellent battery life, Unashamedly geeky, Comfortable
  • Looks outdated next to rivals, Large bezel could bother some
  • We're really impressed with the Pebble Time, despite its humble spec sheet it's snappy, with great battery life and personalisation options. It's also well priced -- in the UK it's available for £179.99 from Firebox -- this makes it a more affordab...

  • Poor design decisions have compromised the promise of the Pebble Time. Some of the issues created will undoubtedly be alleviated by firmware updates, such as the font, and a better choice of colours to enhance the often-dim display, larger fonts and (hope...

  Published: 2015-07-10, Author: Rik , review by: pocket-lint.com

  • Full colour e-paper screen (albeit 64 colours to play with), up to seven days battery life, lightweight design, simple in operation, waterproof to 30 metres, works with both iOS and Android
  • Cannot filter notifications – it's all or nothing, microphone and voice functionality is underutilised, backlight is too dim, plasticky finish for the price
  • The Pebble Time is a highly versatile device that is the product of experience, one that gets the fundamental basics right. It's small and comfortable-to-wear footprint delivers unparalleled battery life, while a vast selection of watchfaces and app...

  • Impressive hardware specifications, Well priced, Great features, Simple and elegant menu system
  • No universal search
  • The Pebble Time won't help you make a fashion statement - yet it's the logical choice if no-nonsense smartwatch functionality is what you're after. The Apple Watch and current fleet of Android Wear offerings haven't yet convinced us that they're are an e...

  • Long battery life, Screen visible in sunlight, Best-looking Pebble yet, Waterproof
  • Terrible iOS support, Childish design, No way to brighten screen, Confusing interface, Too expensive ($200) for what it offers
  • Pebble is the grandfather of the modern smartwatch, and it's starting to spout gray hairs. Long battery life, water resistance, and a display that you can read in the sunlight may be have been great selling points years ago, but Android Wear and the App...

  • The Pebble Time undoubtedly has its shortcomings: the screen is unspectacular, the design is functional, and there are more glitches than you'd expect from a polished end product. This isn't a smartwatch for those who want to be noticed for what they're w...
