I downloaded an app for an analog-style clock face called Brains, which was the best watchface I could locate (the choices are pathetically limited, and many are so odd that I can't believe anyone would ever choose them) and for some reason the hour, minute and second hands are all the same size, making a quick glance at the time impossible, because you have to wait for the second hand to move a few times before you can discern which one is the second hand and which one is the minute hand - aweful design

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

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

The design of the watch is great, with long battery life, waterproof, and comfortable fit

The Pebble android app is well designed and the watch connects easily to any android device/phone.

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!!!!

So I got the Pebble Time due to the reasonable price and good reviews

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

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

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)

In conjunction with my iPhone, this device is very limited

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.

On the other hand, I would recommend the Pebble Time as a fallback device if you cannot afford the bigger name devices.

This, I believe is the best Smartwatch out there for this application

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

In my opinion this is the best smartwatch out there at the moment

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

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

This product did not even last a year before completely breaking and becoming useless landfill.

Sad they were bought out they really had a great product going.

Excellent product, comfortable, battery has great capacity

I don't ask for seconds when I get a defective product.

Dead company, dead product, it wont be support, warranty or any future updates!----"Active Pebble watches will work normally for now

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

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

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

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

Battery life is great about 2 days depends on how I interact with

The first few days the battery life was finicky, but after that, this watch will last me about three days on one charge

The battery life is pretty good--a few days, with the way I use it

The battery life is great, with heavy use I get 4-7 days

Battery life is abysmal on those (and pretty much all other) smartwatches

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...

I just love the thing and have only had it for a few hours)

My favorite thing about the pebble watch is it does everything it sets out to do and doesn't pretend to do more

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

The wrist band of this watch isn't as comfortable as i would have liked, but you can always change the straps

This is a very cool watch, too bad the band broke the first time he wore it

Down one star for having a not so great band that it comes standard with, but it's easy enough to change out

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

Although I have issues with the Misfit App not syncing properly sometimes, the Pebble watch definitely meets my basic needs.

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 love all the other new apps and watch faces that people make.

The apps on it are useful and have perfectly fit what I needed in a smart watch

It's not a touch screen but who cares, it's a watch not a tiny touch watch with useless apps that I can run better on my phone anyway.

I will never love another smart watch as much as i love my Pebble Time

I will never love another smart watch as much as i love my Pebble Time

Too bad Pebble Time 2 did not come out before the company was sold

Friend recommended Pebble Time to me and I tried and love it.

My pebble Time Smart watch does everything I need it to do

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

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

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

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

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

My phone battery drains quicker when bluetooth is attached

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

Superior to Android wear and Apple watch in usability, battery life, water resistance, looks and weight

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

Opening the watches for repair would compromise the water resistance

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

With all of the fancy smart watches out today, the battery life and water resistance makes this a clear winner

The back light turns on by either shaking your wrist or touching a button

This watch does the simple "wrist companion" very well with good activity/sleep tracking, notifications from your phone, microphone support and a cool color e-ink display that is very sharp and low power

No need to shake your wrist or tap the screen to display the time

When trying to use the watch (as a watch,) I had to shake my wrist hard to get it to light up

I have a pretty small, female wrist, and it's not too overwhelming like most of the smart watches are

Pebble Time bezel scratches easily but the glass is really strong

I did see others comment on how easy the bezel scratches but chose to take that risk

I like the bezel on the time because it makes it look friendly and inviting and having a big

I absolutely love it, but Pebble should be ashamed of the crappy PVD coating that they use to "protect" the stainless steel bezel.

My only issue is I’ve had the watch a few days now and the bezel is already scratched

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!

The only significant problem the Pebble Time has is that the bezel's finish gets scratched easily

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

Sadly, with Pebble out of business there's no longer any support for the watch, but I'll love it until the day it dies.

The build quality is solid, low power consumption and good app/phone support

Not a bad watch but took a star away for the lack of consistent email support

Would not recommend buying one, as there will be no future support starting in December of 2016.

Even with Pebble being bought-out, there's still enough online support to keep this watch alive for a few more years IMO.

I cannot attest to other smartwatches, but I can speak to the fact that I have found myself disabling Bluetooth for the day (thus incapacitating my Pebble) in order to ensure my phone doesn't die

The only "problem" to speak of so far is unreliable Bluetooth

I have worn it in the pool, and so far it has held up to its promise of being water resistant, however, if it is submerged for more than 2 minutes, it loses its Bluetooth

no flukes, no unexpected Bluetooth disconnects from the phone.

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

It does not lose connections like the original one did and it looks sharp.

BUT it also buzzes if the watch loses its connection to the iPad

It worked properly for maybe 2 weeks, but then it started constantly losing Bluetooth connection

Restart my iphone and the pebble numerous times because I kept losing the Bluetooth connection

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!

Cons:-Doesn't support full voice

Cons×Not as good looking as the Pebble Time Round and Pebble Time Steel×Smart straps still unavailable for the time being×Buttons aren't as tactile as the Pebble Time Round×No built in

Cons:-Doesn't support full voice

The colors are dim, I think this unit is damaged from factory

I really like the new glass as well

I bought this watch because the reviews built this unit up as a great "silent" alarm

This brings us to the bad.--This is possibly due to a defective unit--1
