Pebble seems to understand the true purpose of a smartwatch. It's not supposed to be a phone and it's not supposed to be a watch but rather a medium and they seem to have discovered this balance. I don't think they should be scared of the other established companies because they don't understand the purpose of smartwatches yet. They're cashing in on a niche market, Apple will make wearables get noticed more like they did with smart phones and the iPhone, however their watch will not be the best. I will personally support Pebble for a few reasons.
1. They're a small company
2. They have great battery life
3. New OS seems to make sense
4. They offer two versions
5. They understand the core idea behind wearables: glanceable info, simple interface, long battery life, and the fact that it shouldn't try to replace your phone but rather work as an extension of your device.
6. Supports iOS and Android
Now I'm sure this device will not be perfect but it appears to have thought put into it than other developers have cared to do. And that's probably due to the fact that all Pebble does is make smartwatches.
WYPOUT 429 sorry to say but fitbit bought pebble 😪😭😭😫😫😫
WYPOUT 429 I don’t really understand your argument here. What do you mean the smart watch is not supposed to be a “smartphone?” The definition of “smart watch” is supposed to be very independent of the smartphone, NOT to be dependent on the smartphone. Apple is the real company to understand the meaning of “smart watch” here, while Pebble is just a shadow of Apple’s plan.
Pebble is a great product. What i love about it the most is that it knows its not a phone. I dont need to worry about charging everyday. I can leave it on my wrist and forget about it just like a watch is supposed to be.
I love how small companies are putting pressure and actually accomplish new and innovative product's then these huge established big brand companies. Its like David vs Goliath and we all know how that ended. Times are changing and with platforms like kickstarter these big brand corporations are in serious trouble.
Sorry, but *products
I'm excited about the new one. I have the original Pebble and it's great. Some people don't seem to understand the concept of e ink and will make fun of the display type. whatever. Always on display plus full week plus battery life makes this great. There are many people who don't want a "mini smart phone" on their wrist, but want the convenience of what's offered here. Thanks guys, Pebble Time Steel - can't wait!
I am thinking of buying the pebble and was wondering is the pebble water resistant or proof?
Just backed you up for the Steel version to be delivered in July..
Didn't even know that was on the table. :) Cheers.
Wish Windows phone was supported. Would definitely contribute if it were.
So today I went to the Apple Store cause I was bored, I just got my new Android device and loving it, so I decided to walk around the Apple using my Galaxy S4, as I left I shouted
"Android and Pebble is Better" and then the whole store went quite...
Truning 13,me too!
Well Done.Congratulation on your success.
I just found out about this today and I'm really salty that the preorders are no longer avalible
I like Apple & Android products they both have pros & con's but he absolutely calls them out and I agree with him @00:34
im gonna buy the gold one of these and tell my side chick shaniqua its a solid gold iwatch. she gonna get so fooled and think i spent 20k on her lmao.
Daquan Jr. gold frame diamond screen lol
Sleeping mode is perfect time to recharge,oh!yeahhhh
Is the Nike + running app compatible with this watch?
Timings*
Does anyone know if you'll be able to send quick replies when paired with an iPhone?
JerTheGeek short answer, yes, you can.
Long answer - at the moment you can use third party apps (such as "Pebble Apps") to send preset quick replies which you can customize.
From what I am seeing with the new Pebble Time watch though is this function could be built in to the new watch.
When is said as a startup were faceing up against the largest company in the world it made me sad 10m strong vs soon to be a 1T strong in value
I miss Pebble. Why can’t Google and FitBit make a decent replacement. Just give me an eink screen with notifications.
I like their vision, but the design is ugly. A watch is a fashion accessory 1st.
*cough* pebbles dead *cough*
I m blown away by how much was pledged for this watch. It has to be the ugliest watch I've ever seen.
It's just so ugly 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Apple Tech reviews coming from an apple fanboy??? This watch is less than half the price of Apples entry level smart watch with more than 7 times the battery life... oh and by the way, your videos are horrible, you should replace "tech review" with "sheep boy" and your name would be more accurate.
He's just biased guys. Also the apple watch is just another product Apple wants us to think we need
*WOW!!! SIXTY-FOUR COLORS!!!! THIS EVEN BEATS MY NINTENDO 64!!!* (no, actually it doesn't)
LOOOOOL!! What a piece of *CRAP*.
Bummers... I feel really bad for all the *boneheads* that actually pledged money to this *turd* (okay... no I don't). Too bad that Apple is going to wipe the floor with them.
Oh well, *it was cute while it lasted*.
