Man, imagine if pebble sold to Citizen. We would probably still have their fundamental tech and ui in the marketplace. Nothing has met it's *blind* utility since, and no touch driven interface can.
I still wear a pebble to this day, rotating between 5 separate Pebble Times and two different Time Steels. All still have a longer battery life than any applewatch save the super chonky one, and they are all much slimmer.
Honestly a Pebble does everything a Watch in the modern day needs to do. It has notifications for every app I use, it sets timers, stopwatch, literally any sort of watch face you could desire, and in it's heyday several on smartphone watch face designers. You can wear any sort of strap you desire.
It's readable in sunlight. It had a baclkigt that can blind you in the darkness if you set it so (the setting is appropriately named "Blinding").
They're also just full of charm. The Quiet Time mode (do not disturb) flashes a tiptoeing mouse. When you mute an app's notifications, an ostrich puts it's head in the ground. When you clear your notifications it plays a paper shredder animation, which is surprisingly smooth for a display of its power draw.
I have an android so I can sideload the application whenever I change phone.
If you're on Android, I would definitely say that a pebble is worth it today, but you have to be comfortable with a little but of hackiness, as the pebble main servers are down forever :(
However, there is a community project, Rebble! They have replacement servers you can subscribe to for things like weather, and they have an updated firmware that redirects the app and watchface/app store to a beckup they host for free.
If you can find one for sale, especially an uninterested private party that has just had one in a drawer for a few years, you can get a pretty good deal these days, maybe $50 on the cheap end shipped. I would personally buy one in good condition for $100 with no hesitation.
Copy & paste comment 😂
@@Carcosahead uh, no. Honest thoughts direct from the autism.
@@LordWaterBottlesorry, my bad, I saw the same comment in another video but didn’t put much attention to the username (it was you obviously), I am trying to get an affordable smartwatch and then I got into the Pebble rabbit hole.
@@Carcosahead well, I highly reccomend a pebble if you don't want a fitness tracker. It does everything else fantastically, and also buttons.
i’ve daily driven various pebble watches for the last 6 years, and it’s been amazing. Love this thing. I get notification previews, time, and music control, that’s all the i need.
We all miss Pebble. Its really strange how NO ONE ELSE tried to make somethint like thisb
I'm still wearing and finding my Pebble Watch to be quite useful. I have 3 of them.
Heck yeah! Pebble will never die.
Spot on!
My pebble died on me and I'm still sad that to this day no smartwatch has been able to replace it
@@epsilon.delta. you can repair them. Or eBay for one, there's a few hobby repairers about
@@SirTopDrawer don't have mine anymore, or it's lost somewhere in storage :(( Looking around, might buy another.
I still have my old pebble time and I bought an old pebble classic few days ago, it's crazy that this old technology is better than a lot of new smartwatches, thanks a lot to rebble people and to all the people who still creating new apps
Hey, can you share a link to the watch band you have in this video? It looks great!
Mine pebble time steel is still working and im loving it. The greatest thing is charging it once a week. For those who have had one back when pebble went out of business it was a nervous time. Fans of this watch built the pebble rebel app which extended the life of the watch.
I have used it along with a $30 pair of wireless earbuds and get a clean and simple look and approach to a smartwatch.
Awesome!
I have a pebble time watch, but how I manage wallpaper.
i still own and use my peeble in 2023. :) Still have lots of functionality especially with the Rebble
Bro,can i use pebble time with ios in 2024?
What watch band is that?
My old Pebble Time died recently & for me there's nothing out there that quite fills the gap- although I find the Watchy open source hardware idea intriguing.
You can replace the battery fairly easily, ifixit made a guide
Coincidentally I bought a Pebble Time watch a few days ago.
I had one when I was a student but lost it. Certain a housemate nabbed it.
Any idea what the best app is for it on Android?
Not too sure on the best app, I mostly messed around with different watch faces
Good watch, I still have a classic.
Dig it 100 percent!
What is the alternative app to get it to work again? I have 2 Pebbles I would love to start wearing again.
It's called Rebble, there's a webpage but I can't link it without my comment getting deleted
Привет, я из России, хочу купить pebble time так как они очень похожи на часы итана из resident evil 7. Подскажите, у них есть пульс? И есть ли еще какие нибудь часы, похожие по функциям и внешне на часы из игры?
Купи на алике.
How do you get it still working wiithout the app ? Mine is stuck on « sos mode » 😢
with rebble, search it on google, it's awesome
I’m going to go back to my old pebble 2
Anyway I can obtain one in Australia?
eBay and Facebook's marketplace
Do you know about Rebble? Would be cool to hear your experience
I mentioned in the video that you need rebble servers to get the watch up and going.
I still have my Time and I absolutely love it 🤩
Awesome!
I've seen a few Pebbles on Aliexpress at good prices
Probably fakes, because pebbles aren't produced anymore
Found one at the flea markets for $5 AUD!!
What a bargain!
Hi. I reactivated my Pebble Time Steel yesterday. Can you name a source for a wrist band? Leather or steel? Thank you very much.
I just took the band off a Kmart watch
Hi do u use ios or android?
Can you share the link so I can update my pebble and it deffo needs an update so I can start to use it again .. thanks in advance
