Reviews around design (4.49 of 5)

  • With a 5-7 day battery life (significant longer than Apple or Android smart watches) and a durable, water resistant design, Pebble continued to defy the competition
  • If Pebble wants to really establish and cement their brand as a truly great Apple Watch alternative, they need to hire, at least, two, maybe three really good watchface UI/graphic designers to come up with some really impressive and "professionallly" designed watchface designs
  • pebble time is easy for apple user.low-priced though good design
  • I'm thinking of purposely scratching a design into it because I don't like the dark grey metal anyway
  • The Pebble android app is well designed and the watch connects easily to any android device/phone.

Reviews around price (4.44 of 5)

  • but at a cheaper price point and offering functionality that doesn't require further use of your wireless contract, Pebble starts to make some sense
  • So I got the Pebble Time due to the reasonable price and good reviews
  • The Pebble watch is a great smartwatch, with quality materials, at a great price point that won't break your budget and is every bit a solid alternative to an Apple Watch
  • So, I saw the Pebble time at a cheap price on Amazon and gave it a shot.
  • If you want a good smart watch at a great price, I suggest this one!!!!

Reviews around device (4.43 of 5)

  • If you know Pebble and understand what you're getting, this is a fantastic device
  • I love my pebble, just need a case to protect my device.
  • It works wonderful, feels wonderful and it an all around great device
  • I love it,I dont need to have an extra phone in my hand, but a device that can let me know if there's an important call coming, or keep me informed about what people is sending me on my mobile (emails / sms)
  • On the other hand, I would recommend the Pebble Time as a fallback device if you cannot afford the bigger name devices.

Reviews around product (4.10 of 5)

  • This product did not even last a year before completely breaking and becoming useless landfill.
  • I don't ask for seconds when I get a defective product.
  • Excellent product, comfortable, battery has great capacity
  • Dead company, dead product, it wont be support, warranty or any future updates!----"Active Pebble watches will work normally for now
  • This is a really terrible product for the price and does not compare to any other "smart watch" out there.

Reviews around feature (4.04 of 5)

  • Truly disappointed as I found that the other features on the watch look to be fantastic.
  • Does everything I need it to, without a bunch of stupid features I don't need
  • A pretty nice smartwatch, it just doesn't work well with iPhone, you don't have all the features that you have with Android, like delete emails, answer texts, etc
  • The correct features you need from a smart watch in this decade
  • This is a great watch that does everything I want without the extra cost (and unneeded feature) of the Apple watch.

Reviews around battery life (3.97 of 5)

  • The BATTERY LIFE is just INCOMPARABLE to any other smartwatch, by itself
  • The battery life is great, with heavy use I get 4-7 days
  • I like the long battery life and watch face being on all the time
  • The battery life is pretty good--a few days, with the way I use it

Reviews around thing (3.75 of 5)

  • Can't recommend this thing more as a first time smartwatch its is well worth the price
  • This thing scratches so easily that I just stopped wearing it
  • But the best thing about this watch is that is has an insane battery life
  • The #1 thing I love about it is that I dont have to constantly get my phone out and look at it, worried I had missed an important phone call...
  • My favorite thing about the pebble watch is it does everything it sets out to do and doesn't pretend to do more

Reviews around band (3.71 of 5)

  • Why we are rating this as three stars is because the band that is provided has caused a rash, blisters and looks like a burn
  • Also, I appreciate the standard 22mm watch band- some other companies force you into proprietary bands, with the Pebble you can put any strap on it that you want
  • The band is the softest and most comfortable band I have ever
  • I LOVE the battery life (I'm getting just shy of 7 days as of this writing) and the water resistance (I can wear it in the shower).One thing I did not like: the band.
  • Down one star for having a not so great band that it comes standard with, but it's easy enough to change out
  • Read remaining 68 reviews for band

Reviews around app (3.57 of 5)

  • I love all the other new apps and watch faces that people make.
  • Watch apps are always free, but beware that some require a paid companion app for your phone.
  • Also you can get an app to find your phone so if you lose it all the time thats pretty good.
  • The apps on it are useful and have perfectly fit what I needed in a smart watch
  • It is packed with features like music control, stop watch, timer, alarms, and the Pebble app has a ton of useful apps and watch faces

  • I will never love another smart watch as much as i love my Pebble Time
  • I loved my Pebble Classic and was nervous that the Pebble Time would be a disappointment.

Reviews around water resistance (2.62 of 5)

  • With all of the fancy smart watches out today, the battery life and water resistance makes this a clear winner
  • The battery lasts for several days without needing a charge and most of the apps and notifications work as you would expect them too
  • Every function in the description works as advertised, including the water resistance.
  • Opening the watches for repair would compromise the water resistance
  • I'm told (after doing exhausted research online) that after Dec 2017 there will be no more updates for the watch (there will still be 3rd party apps like watchfaces), but what you have loaded on your phone by Dec 2017 will still work as long as you have the Apps already loaded on your phone

Reviews around wrist (2.41 of 5)

  • i dont think- its a piece of glass and metal on your wrist-- things like that
  • Bright always-on colour e-paper screen with pretty good resolution (much better than the original Kickstarter screens); no trouble to read in the brightest of light; no silly wrist-based (inaccurate) heart-rate monitor stuff; no GPS (who needs it - you have one in your phone); not too thick or too big (unlike most smartwatches out there); beautiful dull lustre to the metal surround; button interface works very well (and is, in my view, a better option than trying to do it all by touch on a such a small screen); notifications and interactions with an iPhone all work very well too; battery lasts for anywhere from 4 to 7 days depending on how much you do with it; silicon rubber wrist band is well made but can be swapped out for something else in due course if want something a bit more upmarket.
  • No need to shake your wrist or tap the screen to display the time
  • The back light turns on by either shaking your wrist or touching a button
  • When trying to use the watch (as a watch,) I had to shake my wrist hard to get it to light up

Reviews around bezel (2.31 of 5)

  • My watch looks like the bezel was ran across concrete and he said he would happily replace it for me but first
  • The bezel being steel with the color coating on it will scratch but it’s pretty bad on this
  • I like the bezel on the time because it makes it look friendly and inviting and having a big
  • The bezel got scratches pretty quickly, but the crystal is still scratch free.
  • I did see others comment on how easy the bezel scratches but chose to take that risk

Reviews around finish (2.25 of 5)

  • The pebble time has a nice finish and I do like the screen
  • Like I said before, so far so good!!UPDATE(s)- 5/17/2016 - I have figured out how to send texts from the watch and it does work with IOS!
  • any bump on a somewhat hard surface will scratch the matt finish on the watch-face.2
  • Good watch - appallingly awful finish - wears and scratches as soon as you wear itJust Google for "Pebble Time finish" and see how nearly 100% of users report the watch PVD coating scratching and wearing off within hours

Reviews around support (2.24 of 5)

  • Would not recommend buying one, as there will be no future support starting in December of 2016.
  • For $20 million in sales, kickstarter record and all, they have the WORST customer support
  • Only downside is support is limited and the voice to text has issues at times.
  • Not a bad watch but took a star away for the lack of consistent email support
  • It's a shame the company went out of business, but support for their line if watches is still being kept up by FitBit

Reviews around connection (1.93 of 5)

  • This is provided for by its non-LED, color e-ink display

  • Once in awhile it randomly loses Bluetooth connection with my phone, but I just open the Pebble app on my phone and it reconnects instantly
  • Stating annoyances, early on Bluetooth connectivity has been an issue with keeping a stable connection AND/OR trying to re-establish a Bluetooth connection after a disconnect or loosing the connection during a charging
