Slick design
Loads of apps
Excellent design update makes Pebble look like a watch you'd wear on a date. Software updates bring new APIs for developers to build on. Capable app store
Surprisingly full of great apps already. The already strong notification system sees better integra
It's puuuuurty. The Pebble Steel's main goal is just to look more respectable than the nerd-toy it is
And it pulls that off wonderfully. Between the two bands included

The editors didn't like
Slightly lightweight still
UI can be hard to navigate at times
The price might scare away thrifty shoppers
But they'd be best steered toward the original Pebble. The app store is a little rough around the edges. Some developers still think we want to type on our watches. Android software delays make this an iOSonly
Most of my quibbles with the Pebble are small
But they're magnified all the more considering everything around them is so stupid simple and good. You can't customise how long a notification stays on the screen
For instance. Notifications auto-dismiss af
More expensive
Too much bezel
Limited colors so far
Longer wait time
Older technology compared to competition
Onboard storage limited to eight apps at a time
Still requires charging twice a week
Lacks heartrate monitor or more advanced fitness features
Minor build flaws
Limited display
No Windows Phone support
Struggling to find anything worth mentioning really
The screen resolution is low (and monochrome) compared to the more expensive smartwatches and that does give it a retro look
But it's fine for my needs. I don't need to display images or videos or pl
Large bezel remains
Lost charm of original model
Not as feature rich as its rivals
More expensive than the standard Pebble
More expensive than original Pebble
Screen could be a bit bigger
Slow menu
Apps don't offer much unless you can find one that really makes a difference for you

The Pebble Steel – the whole Pebble range – falls in an odd position. They're not fitness trackers, although they have all the basic functions of them and they're not conventional smartwatches – the eink screens just don't fit into people's perception of...
While the Pebble Steel (and any smartwatch for that matter) isn't going to replace an expensive 'real' watch as a designer piece of jewelry, it is a great everyday watch. Its simplicity and monochrome screen are its strengths, giving you a long-lasting wa...
Class leading battery life, Comfortable strap, Premium feel
Large bezel remains, Lost charm of original model
The regular Pebble Time costs a very reasonable £180, an extra £50 will get you the Pebble Time Steel. The ultimate question is, is it worth the upgrade? We were really taken by the regular Pebble's geeky charm, it was cheap and plastic, but still...

Pebble Time Steel is the grown-up version of the new Kickstarter-backed smartwatch with stainless steel casing instead of plastic. It'll cost you more money and you'll have to wait, but that's the price of looking debonair....
