I have notice that on the reviews comparing apple watch with pebble they don't mention that Pebble says that you can swim with your watch (up to 30 meters deep) while apple recommend not to take showers with it. That for me it the most important reason why I got a Pebble.
#1 not made by Apple
wow so edgy wow m8 ggwp
+goofy hayden Why do brand matter? I dont care about logo of device, i care about how it is good for my use.
Pebble (all 4 of them) are e-paper, NOT e-ink (electrophoretic ink)! Specifically Pebble uses a transflective memory in pixel LCD.
Protonus *3 The time, steel, and original, I believe...
Theo Baudry Nope, there are 4. Original classic Pebble, classic Pebble Steel, Pebble Time, and Pebble Time Steel.
Protonus
yeah, i forgot about the time steel
+Protonus
... and lately 5 with the Pebble Time Round, which adds a more attractive shape, incredibly light weight and class-leading thinness but does away entirely with Pebble's signature battery life.
All the pebble watches
1st Pebble Classic
2nd Pebble Steel
3rd Pebble Time
4th Pebble Time Steel
5th Pebble Time Round
I love the real buttons on my Pebble Time Steel because I swim with the watch, and a touchscreen smart phone is hard to use when I have very wet hands, like when I'm in between laps. The Apple Watch isn't waterproof, either, unlike the Pebble, which is waterproof up to 30 meters. I love it!
+maryannemoll actually apple watech is 3ft for 30mins. #getyourfactsstraight
+Brian Bourgeois According to my friends who actually have Apple watches, the Apple watch is not waterproof. It is just water resistant. Also, according to iphone FAQ, "No, Apple Watch is splash and water resistant, but not waterproof. The Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. This means the watch will survive if you wash your hands while wearing it or if it gets caught in the occasional rain storm, but you should take it off when swimming." www.iphonefaq.org/archives/973764 #getyourfactsstraight
+maryannemoll i dont read articles to get my information. the actual definition is "Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion)." That test has a duration of 30 min. #getyourfactsstraight
+Brian Bourgeois Ok, then go buy a apple watch and take a swim with it. Let me know how that goes for ya.
+Kyle Magersupp take a look at the video where they swim and dive with the Apple Watch and nothing happens
It's all about battery life. I had the Apple Watch, had to remove it every night and charge it. The pebble I charge on Sunday night and can keep it on to work as a wake up alarm all week long. You forget to charge the Apple Watch and you are screwed.
johnmonk66 I personally have a Fitbit as a backup. But, you are right; if you forget to charge it you're screwed!
How about water proof? Pebble can go to 50m water, Apple Watch just splash proof
Apple Watch is waterproof, but underwater the touchscreen won't work.
We shouldn't judge the watches apart. We are all equal :)
Go share some emails. :)
agree waterproof is a big one
Number 11.... Water resistant
Tony Daussat don't say anything if yo don't know what you're talking about......... the apple watch has an ipx7 water resistance..... no one wants a pebble that looks like a children's toy and is made out of plastic. don't be mad you can't afford it
.
josedavidXD1 Dude, you just need to learn that apple in general sucks as a brand.
Logan don't be mad just because you can't afford any apple products so you have to hate on them...
josedavidXD1 ...so, you're honestly saying you would wear your $400 apple watch watch in the shower without a worry? I bet to differ.
The pebble isn't any more water resistant... And yes I would wear my $700 watch in the shower, I got care plus so I can break it on purpose if I wanted to
Very nice video , but may u tell me is pebble watch (the oringinal )good enough to be a smart watch ?? I have a grey pebble watch and i am considering to buy the pebble time or not , cause it's great !! Thank you .
What band is that leather band with red stitching that You have on the Pebble Time? Do Anyone have a link on where to buy?? Thanks.
I ride a motorcycle often. I use the Pebble to change songs playing in my helmet, and I use it to see who is calling me so I can either pull off, or at least not have to worry if I missed something important.
I have been using an apple watch for 6 months, before that I used the Pebble Time. I've just returned to the Time and I am falling in love again with it's simplicity and all the features that a user really wants to have on a smartwatch. The concept makes it a lot more convenient to do what a watch is supposed to do -> manage my time.
I thought about getting an Apple Watch but the main reason why I wanted a smart watch was to tell time and get notifications. It's awesome that the Apple Watch does more but I don't need more. I'm simple. I just wanna be able to switch watch faces to be unique
Thanks man for this review and comparison. I have LG g watch and thinking of buying Pebble time also. It's great because of the e-paper screen.
Hello,
I'm looking for a specific task on a smartwatch.
Does it display (and vibrate/ring) for saved events without permanent connection to a phone?
Thanks
radu3g I think the Apple Watch 2 might be able to do that because it has its own 3G built in. Maybe do some research and see if it does what you want it to do
how do you put weather on the timeline
Can i connect pebble classic with my blackberry classic ?. please help me!
I am currently in the process of buying a smart watch and found this video very helpful
I've owned the Pebble Steel watch for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. (had an Apple watch and returned it) And it's been through the morning shower a number of times already... and it is still ticking. GREAT watch ! Great price! Great video!
One thing to note, that although Pebble doesn't make an official app for BlackBerry and Windows Phones. The Pebble watch works perfectly fine on both platforms through third-party apps, such as Talk2Watch on BlackBerry. I know Windows has something similar. This is something that can't be or at least hasn't been done with any other Smartwatch on the market. Recently Talk2Watch for BlackBerry updated to be able to support Pebble Time as well, and gives you full access to the Pebble App Store to download watch faces and apps for both the Pebble smart watches and the Pebble Time smart watches.
pebble is a great company they were nice enough to give a screen alongside the bezel i purchased .
Solid breakdown. GJ!
When will the pebble time steel come out?
fyi just letting everyone know there is a new native health app added to the pebble time series and it tracks sleep and steps and it works VERY well.
I love both watches. Great review.
I have a correction, the Pebble Time does not use E-Paper. It actually uses what is known as a memory LED display, which uses a lot less power, and a clever marketing team.
Great job
The pebble and Apple watch are very different products. The Apple watch does so much more. Which is great. The pebble doesn't do as much, because it was never meant to. The pebble is really great about letting you know what's going on with your phone (notificaitons, phone calls, etc..) and then letting you get on with your day. The somewhat recent addition of pebble health is nice with the steps and sleep tracking.. but at the end of the day, the pebble is a good watch that lasts for more than two days, is smaller, cheaper, looks better (pebble time round) and does two things really well. Tells the time, and lets you know when someone/an app is trying to get a hold of you. The Apple watch tries to be everything that your phone is. And if that is what you are looking for, then it is a great fit.
Nice thing with the Apple Watch is you have the ability to just let it be a notification device and disable everything else. If I do that with my Apple Watch I can get 2 days sometimes 3 days out of it.
Nice video man!! But where your coolest guitar channel?
thanks for this review. :)
Your welcome !
I own a Pebble (Kickstarter backer) and a Pebble Time (Kickstarter backer) and an Apple Watch iron steel. My Pebble Time arrived first in my mailbox and I used it for about one month. Then I decided to buy an Apple Watch. After one month of Apple Watch use, I haven't touched the Pebble Time once yet. No contest. Period. Yes the Time can take a shower (and a swim) and the battery lasts days. But that's about it. Apple trashes Pebble in about everything else. I especially love the health/fitness features of the Apple.
I know this is old, but what game is that at 6:27?
What is he name of the face watch??
I was rally debating these 2, already had a first gen pebble. I like a lot of apps, and apple definitely has the upper hand with big names. I'll miss the battery life always on display, but the apple watch is also socially interesting, rather than the pebble which is unknown to most
I got a pebble time watch yesterday!!!
K
Same!
mediatek vs snapdragon review plssssssssss
Nice review and I completely agree. I have two Samsung Watches and my wife has two apple watches. The Pebble is by far my favorite and significantly better than any smart watch I know of today April 2018. I wish someone would but and continue producing them.
I love my pebble time, buuuut I happen to have hairy wrists, so im always pinching the hair. Thats the only downside to the pebble.
Good video. I just can't get over how it looks. Maybe in a year or so they'll redesign it.
+MBJ all about investors. with the first one I assume they found a screen they wanted and built the operating system to natively use that resolution but unfortunately when they went for colour no screen existed in the same resolution (with the outdoor visibility and battery life) so they got screens with more pixels than needed and covered the extra with bezel, thus the time and time steel dont look sleek. they have survived this long against very very big competition from established brands so I really hope they can get a bespoke screen next time and nail the design as well as the functionality (which is still killer on my black and white original pebble from years ago!)
I like both, however the physical buttons do not appeal to me. Touch screen means ease of use, not monkeying around with 3 buttons, especially that small and located that close to each other.
Looks cool
Fair comparison actually. Fall in line with my own opinion. The Pebble Time is a great companion to smartphones.
Heres my two cents. I have an apple watch, and a pebble time, and used to have the original pebble.
The apple watch does have worse battery life, yes, but honestly, no matter which one I wear, I charge it at night. So, either way, it doesn't really matter to me, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't sleep with their watch on, smartwatch or not..
Something I really wish the Apple watch has is more third party support. I love the third party watch faces on the pebble, and the ability to make my own.
Siri on the apple watch makes things so much easier honestly, I can easily send or reply to texts from my watch, take calls, get directions, its so easy. Makes driving easier as well.
Being a runner, being able to connect bluetooth headphones to my watch, sync a playlist from my phone , and run without my phone, is such a huge benefit. I understand this doesn't apply to everyone, I'm not the only one that does this.
I like the comfort of the Pebble better, but the haptic thingy that gives you a subtle, yet noticeable vibration is much better than the vibration of the pebble. Its a trade off there.
Apple watch has more capability that the Pebble Time, but I think its worth it. It is no doubt a better watch in terms of capability, because it literally can do everything the Pebble can, better, besides water resistance, band compatibility, and probably a couple other things. But overall, I like the Apple Watch more.
What's the name of the watchface ?
MW Tech nice Joe Satriani strap on that bass guitar =)
DONT LAUGH PEBBLE WORKS WITH BLACKBERRY
For me personally I don't think any smartwatch will ever compare to the Pebble Time,
Unfortunately as it comes closer to the server shutdown i realise that there is no smart watch with the combination of features that the pebble offers.
Colour E paper display... (should be the standard)
Solid battery life
Light weight and very comfortable
Small (cute) design that doesn't look silly on small wrists
Physical buttons
Reliable notifications
Voice dictation for messaging
fully water proof
Good auto sleep tracking
Button shortcuts
even some decent entry level fitness tracking
all at a reasonable price too!
I knew replacing my Time would be a difficult decision come server shutdown however i kinda imagined that there would be a decent alternate out there by now
There is a new web service started up to restore pebble server functionality. It's called Rebble web service. I just ordered a second hand pebble because I've wanted one for years and didn't know that the servers had already been shut down but Rebble will make it work again.
@pebble es el mejor !!!
what game is that at 6:24
Its sprint racer. I myself, even as future president ;) have a pebble watch. Sprint racer is really fun!
thx bro new sub
I have a Apple Watch but it's very hard to use , the software is very laggy and not a fan of the way their buttons work. Left button is very limited and every app is slow to open... I like the design but the way it works it's not to friendly
Mine works fine and maybe yours is slow because you have too much apps, mine just work perfect and i think is really easy to use like every iOS software or OS
+alfonso jose cobos moreno Stop trying to convince yourself that you made a good purchase. Apple watch is tanking hardcore because it suuuuucks
Number 9 doesn't make sense the apple watch has a dianostic port for future bands to
Technology Nerd18 maybe but the pebble is open source so independent companies can make one apple is definitely not
i'm using my pebble time with my blackberry passport. work really well.
Now a days with these new smart watches, calling the Pebble time a smart watch is quite a stretch now. The Pebble line is nothing more than a notification receiver, displaying rich notification when available. The Apple Watch can do all of that with the ability to utilize applications much like the phone itself. The 10 day battery is nice, but I would take a legitimate smart watch like the Apple Watch or many of the Android Watches over this any day!
lmao you cant be serious
The thing I find odd is that Apple was going to go with the timeline idea but scrapped it. I wonder why.
I'm not a apple fan anymore,but i would so pick the apple over the 80's looking pebble any dayfor sure!!
Kevin buddy, look up Dbrand pebble time skins and I'm sure you'll see some reason to like the look. But it does look pretty retro ^_^
OfficialBluckstarGaming That won't fix the crappy looking paper while display. Makes it look old and cheap
OfficialBluckstarGaming It does look better with the band...but the screen still looks old and out dated imo.
Yeah but the retro screen brings me nostalgia so that's kinda why I love it so much
***** Nice words :3
You made a lot of valid points, and I respect you for them
But I believe you're wrong
Watching the Pebble in use, it looks awkward using the buttons on the side when it is on the wrist. I think a better option would be to have the buttons on the top face to the side of the display
I have a pebble time and it can be frustrating pressing the left button to activate the backlight as it can often slide the watch even though the band is securely strapped. Front facing buttons sound interesting.
+Michael Dew You know in the settings you can activate the backlight by shaking it... Flick your wrist, the watch illuminates...
it's not as fluid as you would think but yeah I appreciate the work around.
To be honest, I don't know why people think that apple watch looks good, It's ugly as fuck compared to moto 360, huawei watch. I will pick pebble over apple watch any day, software is so much better designed and intuitive and straps are not limited like there are on apple watch.
As a pebble time (iOS) user the only downside is not being able to respond to notifications. But yeah Moto 360 is beautiful, 2nd gen hopefully will make it fully circular display. Then all we have to do is wait for android wear to be iOS compatible 😂
Michael Dew Don't think *Android Wear* will be compatible with *iOS*
Michael Dew Keep in mind that Apple did not add a notification api for the pebble for this specific reason. Apple thinks that by limiting their competitors on ios that they can gain a monopoly on ios smartwatches. The only reason pebble is allowed to utilize ios is so that Apple can say "there is always the other option"
Cyb3rPhoenix | Minecraft & Gaming Google mentioned somewhere that they were exploring options of cross platform android wear. I assume itd be a basic dumbed down compatible version for iOS though.
Peyton Duncan Yeah very limiting, the only real issue with the apple watch is battery life.
Actually I have a BlackBerry and a Pebble Time Steel. You just need Talk2Watch from BlackBerry World and you get more functionality than with an iPhone like replying to messages. :)
Really happy with my pebble time. Tired of my moto 360 battery life!
What kind of strap is that on the Pebble?
Brad Mckenzie The original strap is a silicone band with 22mm quick release pins. Or did you mean a different one?
Protonus at the 40 seconds mark it shows one with red stitching. It looks much nicer then the basic one it comes with.
Brad Mckenzie There are lots of bands like that, take a look here www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A22mm+red+stitching&keywords=22mm+red+stitching&ie=UTF8&qid=1435763118&spIA=B00OBWOYPK,B00MT64MCK,B00OU1JIK8,B00OC3L64K,B00I5RS3E0,B00I5RT98Y
You're comparing apples to oranges and then making unfair/biased arguments against the apple watch. Thumbs down.
you can do the same timeline feature on watch os 2 beta
So you saying apple now copied Pebble!!!!!
HOW MANY OTHER COMPANIES ARE THEY GOING. TO COPY!
Lol
lol. it seems like every company copies each other in some way.
Yep, true
At the end, all companies will have same products just different brands LOL
Every smartphone will have the same screen and camera and all.
There will be different versions of it but they will have copies as well...LOL
lol
Pebble time is also compatible with blackberry 10 devices.
I don't need smart straps for nfc and a heart rate monitor because my watch has it already
You spat at 0:13 secs LOL
Dude you need to compare somthing to a dz09 smartwatch its only $20
I hate to say that Apple Watch will most likely get smartstraps too...
+Gavin Abrams it will it has the same plug as the pebble except its in a better place.
with Donald Trump the company will have to move to Canada to do anything
I'll stick with my Samsung Gear S instead.
7 Days+ battery ! nuff said
He's trying so hard to make the pebble sound so much better but the Apple Watch by far is much better
so much
I want to buy pabble watch should i
yep
Get the pebble 2. The time 2 looks like a toy.
JPG Studios it's all about personal preference
Why the hell anyone not show X touch wave
What this guy fails to mention in this and his other pebble vids is that the functionality of the pebble with an Apple phone is drastically reduced when compared to using with an Android phone. This is not a fault of Pebble but of Apple.
I was seriously considering getting a pebble but other reviewers have cautioned that they don't work nearly as well with an iPhone and it is not a realistic alternative to an Apple watch for us IOS users.
To be honest although I do like all the Apple products I have I am starting to get more and more pissed @ Apple for the locked down approach they are using. I can now buy a tablet for the half the price of my iPad Air that has more functionality , memory expansion and ease of data transfer.
These devices are surly made to make our lives easier ? then why the hell do I have to find constant work arounds so they can perform basic tasks ?
Garmin Fenix 3
@pebble is the best smartwatch
True it the best smart watch (low price)
Someone is in denial!
Pebble time 3 atm Apple watch IPX7
Number 3 is the only advantage
Why is their so much hate for the Apple Watch, I love mine!
If you like it that's awesome....but if society doesn't like it you can't really do anything :P
This dude is like Sammy Sprinkler.
If the Pebble Time didn't look so cripplingly boring I would get it.
Price. It actually is the price of a smart watch not a phone. It isn't Apple. The end
Why don't you all stop hating on this product because it was made by Apple. These reasons in this video are not necessarily better and one of them is that the pebble MIGHT in the future have something the apple watch already has. If you didn't pay attention to who made these products, the apple watch looks better, it has more functionality, it works for time, notifications, has good build quality, is faster, and also works for people who use it for fitness and apps. I'm not an apple fanboy, but the only reason people are saying the apple watch isn't good is because it is made by apple. stop being oblivious to the specs and facts. They are also both not made for the same type of people.
The real buttons are quite unconfortable. They are hard to press, you have to do it with two fingers. And thats why i prefer the apple watch (or any android wear sw).
What about the pebble being waterproof
The Apple Watch is also waterproof
+AgarSADO no it's not. Try diving into a pool with it.
+Duarte Fonseca Do some research in youtube, it is possible to swim with the apple watch.
where the fuck do i get the pebble time. searched the whole internet cant get it anywhere but ebay which is shady for me since im from slovenia
Fellow Traveler pebble.com
Nopenny! out of stock mate. i want the round one
amazon
the red and silver is a great price too
dude how much money did they pay you for this advertisement?
Thumbs down from me because of the blatant ad at the beginning of the video. I subscribe to UA-cam Red for a reason, and it's not for you to double-dip on ad revenue.
I just wish there was a speaker..
Mate Apple Watch way better than a pebble watch
Nahhh
i hate pebbles design, os, and that it does not have a touch screen
Touch screens on such a small scale aren't really that good - the reason that the Apple Watch's touch screen is good is because, well frankly, Apple kinda knows what they're doing with touch screens. I personally prefer that a watch doesn't have a touch screen because it renders them useless in water and fingerprints would cover the entire screen.
well, i do kinda agree. but i think that samsung gear s2 has a great design and it has touchscreen but you can use menus without touching it
+MrFuckingFX It's a watch.. And pebble does just that.
+Scuff Studios you're right, pebble is just a watch, what it was always meant to be, also I'm glad this didn't turn into a clusterfuck like every other comment on this video
YES FINALLY HAS LOGIC...not just "well yeah the Apple Watch is an overpriced piece of crap so it must be better".
Time to forget the Pebbles. The Zenwatch 2 can do everything the Pebbles can, and more. Also, the Zenwatch 2 is less expensive and looks more premium.
+v5a the Zenwatch 2 still doesn't last 7 days on a single charge.
True, but the zenwatch 2 only takes about an hour to charge for a full day or two.
I wouldn't like to charge my watch that often, but that's just me. The Zenwatch 2 is a great watch for the price though.
I totally understand. :)
Does it work for iOS?
I have a pebble time. I also agree that it's better than the apple watch.
Me too i have both and i like to use pebble more than apple watch
apple always super
nice review, but the lighting makes ur spit so much more obvious.. its quite distracting actually hahah
you made a pebble add .....
Maybe next he'll make it subtract. Or better yet, multiply!
