I think, in my opinion, that having a watch screen that is always visible instead of a black screen is a better feature, even if the watch's contrast is low sometimes

I love the timeline feature which helps me stop missing meetings because it actually stores future events in the watch's cache, something other smart watches don't do - but without this feature, is there really a point to a smart watch that won't remind you of an event unless you're connected to your phone

And the other features are great, like voice to text, calendar timeline view, and more.

The best feature I found is that with the purchase of Sleep as Android app this watch gently wakes me up by

If you like the timeline feature on this watch, the Steel will be getting according to Pebble

The reason this gets 4 and not 5 stars are: (a) the pvd-coated stainless steel bezel scratches very easily and visibly, (b) the gorilla-glass screen scratches surprisingly easy, (c) the screen is very challenging to see clearly in regular ambient indoor light, and (d) several KEY features are unavailable when paired with an iPhone... such as canned text responses and voice recorded responses.

This is a great watch that does everything I want without the extra cost (and unneeded feature) of the Apple watch.

This feature is actually decent at best.

Really a great feature.

Great interface and good features

The smart wake alarm feature is really cool.

They even label the feature as a work in progress - responses are sent via SMS and the watch has to be directly connected to your AT&T SMS account

Nice features, but the glass bezel is delaminating from the watch face

The health app is a great addition as well as it mimics the same features as fitbits in tracking your steps and sleep.

Then I light it up and show them how much I can do with it (java pay, super health features, Pandora, multiple watch faces, ESPN, domino's pizza, etc.).People always ask if it's an Apple Watch

It provides useful simple features that fit very well with the Spartan UI provided by any watch

It has all the essential features to see how much you'll really enjoy it, and it won't break the bank.

So that feature is lacking.

Loving it so far, the limited features with iOS is my only problem, the IFTTT app does add functionality but isn't the easiet thing to set up

The color screen was my favorite feature.

It's got the perfect features at the perfect price point

This is a nice feature to dress up or dress down the watch to fit the occasion.

Very nice feature and is exactly what I was looking for, however the health part, in particular sleep tracking is useless

Its a great, inexpensive alternative to the Apple Watch and has some wonderfully convenient features

They have other cool features but those I mentioned were the most important to me

I have another smartwatch that has some nifty features and I was afraid of taking a step down in techie functionality, but I have been won over

The best feature of the watch is the link to my phone

I also like the feature of how the watch is always on

I like the Quite Time feature

I'm still learning features but the possibilities excite me.

Smartwatch functionality and the OS:I do have to say that I really like the smart features of the Pebble Time OS.

Stays charged a long time and useful features including: sleep timing and analyzing, texting messages on watch, reply to text by voice, reminders from calendar... really too many to mention.

Loving it so far, the limited features with iOS is my only problem, the IFTTT app does add functionality but isn't the easiet thing to set up

It is hard to see the face without the backlight but that also makes the battery last, which is another good feature

These are the reasons why I chose the Pebble Time over various equally priced Android Wear Smartwatches:-Color E-ink display, what's the most important feature of a watch

My favorite feature about this watch is that even after it "dies," it will still display the time for another entire day, or even longer

Timeline is great feature-

It's a neat watch, cool features, looks decent

It has great features for my needs, tons of cool watchfaces with great customization, and it's rugged enough to withstand both my musician work and my PC repair work.

While my experience using iOS will be different from those with Android (more robust apps and features, I understand

I thought not having a touch screen would be a problem, but I do not miss that feature at all!

Another great feature of watch that their screen never turn off and it doesn't blink on the sunlight.6

Everything does work though (unless you're using iOS, apparently) and the timeline is a nice feature, though may take a bit to get used to

Love the features.

Within a month or two, many of the outstanding feature requests were fulfilled

To highlight a few of its most useful features, I’d like to start off with the vibrating function

Unfortunately, there is no way to isolate one feature from the other, so I am forced to turn off the entire Health feature because of this one crazy pedometer error

Having the screen always be on was a really nice feature coming from the Moto 360

Outstanding timeline feature (able to see stuff in the past, present, and future with a click of a button)+

The always on screen is such a nice feature, and the battery life is amazing

All the great features of the original Pebble.

The kicker is that Pebble just announced bankruptcy yesterday (12/6/16) and now that Fitbit owns them, who knows what features will stop working

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

It has a ton of helpful little apps and features that did make a slight difference in my everyday grind, as far as my ability to schedule and stay connected.

Really sad that I didn't know about Pebble before the company went under, but I am glad that I bought this watch anyway because many of it's features still work including voice texting and notifications

so far so good after 3 days, i like the notification features and watch faces; i'm not 100% sold though

, I could not sign up for a Pebble account and I do not have access to any of the cool online features like what you get with FitBit or Garmin phone apps or online sites.

Some of the fancier watchfaces wash out in direct sunlight, but if you choose one with high contrast and big numbers the screen is just as readable as any digital watch.+ Excellent features.

Cool sleep tracking features that I use to judge my sleeping habits and I haven't missed a call or text since I got it

The only features I would additionally like is a way to respond to my google chat messages, but I can't really complain, it was less than $100.

all the features were awesome and it connected easily to my phone.

The correct features you need from a smart watch in this decade

I was leaning towards more of the fitness trackers that had notifications built in but noticed pricing was pretty much double the Pebble Time and although I wanted to track health, I didn't need crazy features or over the top tracking of health

The extended battery life is another of the most appreciated features

Good features, nice supporting aps

professional attire.- TimeStyle Watchface is nice with good features and

and I like it's compact size and features

Additional features, such as weather, health & sleep, stopwatch, and phone notifications have been helpful as well

Enough features and apps for it to keep you happy

If it's dark you can turn on the backlight with a flick of your wrist (you can also disable this feature).+ Timeline is very handy.

The features are great and it receives texts and calls beautifully

Does everything I need it to, without a bunch of stupid features I don't need

is its e-ink display (like a kindle

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

Truly disappointed as I found that the other features on the watch look to be fantastic.

The added water resistance is much appreciated as

Didn't bother as it's automatic deal breaker.

Contrast/resolution not as sharp as I would like+

My favs were Misfit for tracking health and sleep as well as, well, I don't even remember the name of the

Con: It is not touch screen, it does not display emoji's correctly (they look more ASCI, then the modern ones), replying to text messages does not always work and when it does Google seems to get confused as to what you said (this might be Google's fault

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

The battery lasts for several days without needing a charge and most of the apps and notifications work as you would expect them too

Their subsequent products have improved a

Really disappointed as now there are mars on it that can't be removed.

I like this a

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

But it just doesn't work as well as I hoped, or indeed, as well as it did the first few weeks

I'm sure the battery will deplete a little faster as I use more of the features.***UPDATE
