The editors didn't like

App ecosystem can be difficult to gauge
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
Abstract: Pebble is the plucky upstart to Google and Apple's smartwatch behemoths, having carved itself a niche in the smarwatch market with the backing and subsequent release of the original Pebble in 2013. The Pebble Time is its third generation, following in the...
We're largely enamoured with the Pebble Time. The design is respectable, the key features work reliably, the app store is well stocked and the battery life is beyond compare with most smartwatches.A few software glitches leave it exasperatingly short of a...

Well. you can't unless you already did. Until the Kickstarter backers get their orders in, this smartwatch won't go back on sale. Second, I think it's worth waiting to see if the platform gets some software updates to address its deficiencies, and for a...
Unsurprisingly the Pebble Time Steel is the clear winner over the original Pebble Steel. The color display seals the deal, but it's also the refined design, the microphone, and--did we mention--the 10-day battery life of the Time that makes it such a supe...

Looks better than the Pebble, Color e, paper display, Long battery life, Works with iOS, Android
Plastic casing, Limited colors so far
Pebble Time is the follow-up to one the best smartwatches. It's not as fancy as the all-metal Pebble Steel, but it's a marked improvement over the original Pebble inside and out....
If you compare the Pebble Time to the original Pebble, it's like night and day. It's better looking, it now has a colour screen and the new smart strap feature has the potential to make this the most versatile smartwatch around. I'm beginning to see why ...
Notifications delivered in a really useful way, Waterproof design means you can take it swimming, More luxurious stainless steel watch face
Has a thicker screen bezel than the Pebble Time, Leather strap is most unattractive of the strap options, Still needs some better watch faces
I've seen a lot of smartwatches over the past couple of years, and for the first time I've found one I think I would actually want to own. The stainless steel finish makes the Time Steel more desirable than the Pebble Time. It's waterproof, the software ...
