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

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

I like how Pebble's watches keep it simple. They're watches with slight upgrades, and don't try to do too much. One day, perhaps even one day soon, we will be strapping crazy sensors all over our bodies, including our wrists, and Pebble's approach might s...

If you want a smartwatch that doesnt look terrible and you want it right now, then sure. The Pebble Steel is pretty much the only option out there that combines the best notifications-on-your-wrist-ness of a smartwatch, the style of a legitimate piece of...

Comfortable, looks like a real watch, Five day battery life, iOS and Android compatible, App store has bags of potential
More expensive than original Pebble, Screen could be a bit bigger
Did we mention the Pebble Steel is the best smartwatch you can buy? Well it is.Nothing's perfect - we'd like a slightly bigger (colour e-paper?) screen to fill the watchface and give some of Pebble's new apps room to breathe, storage space for more apps a...
I'm not the first person to make this comparison, but I'll repeat it anyway. The state of smart watches today feels a lot like the state of smartphones before the original iPhone launched in 2007. The Pebble Steel does what it promises to do — deliver not...

La renovada estética en metal consigue su objetivo, que es hacer que el Pebble no parezca tanto un juguete para geeks, y sea un dispositivo apetecible por alguien no tan tecnológico. Para hacer las cosas mejores, el sistema de enganche de la esfera es
No se puede configurar cuanto tiempo queremos que duren las notificaciones en la pantalla, y el tiempo que tardan en desaparecer es quizá demasiado largo. Para quitar las notificaciones acumuladas hay que pulsar un botón, y no siempre tenemos la otra m
Si quieres un smartwatch con un buen aspecto y lo quieres ya, adelante. El Pebble Steel es un gran smartwatch, y su mejor talento está precisamente en la sencillez y en la falta de prestaciones innecesarias que a la postre funcionan mal.AdvertisementSi no...

El Pebble Steel es un reloj muy bonito a la vista, con una construcción de alta calidad. Sus muchísimas aplicaciones pueden activarse fácilmente desde apps en iPhone o Android. Y, al fin, ya hay una tienda de aplicaciones dedicada
Cuesta US$100 más que el Pebble original, a pesar de que tiene básicamente el mismo 'hardware'. Solo permite guardar ocho 'apps' al mismo tiempo. No tiene micrófono, bocina, pantalla táctil ni pantalla a color
Es elegante y funcional a la vez. El Pebble Steel da un salto gigante y se coloca a la delantera en el mundo de los relojes inteligentes, pero lo hace mejorando lo que ya tenía en lugar de poner cosas totalmente nuevas....
