    pebble Time Smartwatch White

    • The bezel will scratch easily, but while that is purely aesthetic, the watch face may scratch also if you knock your wrist against a concrete wall or something
    • Long battery life means no need to take a charger for weekend trips and always-on display means no silly wrist gestures every time you want to see the time (unless it's dark).
    • Buttons are even easy to use even for me as I am a lefty and wear my watch on my right wrist.
    • It is a exceptional functional wrist watch
    • Band feels comfortable although there are two loops which hold the band into place-- one of them consistently aggravated my wrist
    • The back light turns on by either shaking your wrist or touching a button
    • 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.
    • The bad:Pebble Health step counting is only as accurate as any other wrist-mounted step counting solution
    • and often I'd be shaking my wrist and mashing buttons in futility just to get the light to turn on.
    • but just mentioning)- Display is fairly dim indoors, but backlight works fine and you can shake your wrist to turn on light.- Buttons work fine for me, but I have smaller
    • I have small wrists and prefer smaller watches

    • I have a pretty small, female wrist, and it's not too overwhelming like most of the smart watches are
    • My wrists are problematic and hurt quite often so having time on my hand is usually not benefit enough to endure extra weight on the wrist
    • I constantly have to shake my wrist to see the time because the motion sensor doesn't detect for the most time that I am raising my arm to look at the time
    • No need to shake your wrist or tap the screen to display the time
    • The one I have is a traditional analog that when you shake your wrist, it shows you a 4 day weather forecast (this was a requirement and one of the few things I loved about my Garmin).3
    • i dont think- its a piece of glass and metal on your wrist-- things like that
    • When trying to use the watch (as a watch,) I had to shake my wrist hard to get it to light up
    • Those with skinny wrists will understand the frustration
    • Shake your wrist if you're in the dark.
    • Its very light and fits my wrist well.
    • In a poorly lit room you will shake your wrist.
    • 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
    • I wanted a small smartwatch that wouldn't overwhelm my small wrists.
    • I really like the new glass as well
    • 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!
