Have to agree. I'm wearing a Pebble Time Steele and a lot of people like it but don't notice it to be a smartwatch at first sight (depending on the watch face of course).
However, it did not receive good reviews. I guess in part because it is widely accepted that smartwatches do not last more than a day or two and are not well readable outside. Customers and reviewers are blinded by super-high-resolution displays - although you won't watch YouTube on your wrist.
Pebble is functional, the world wants bling-bling.
- this-dang-guy 10y agoYou hit the nail on the head. People always assume my Pebble is just a watch. The absolute best reaction to a smartwatch, IMO. It's just a watch. That does neat things if I ask it to. Period. That's what Pebble delivered for me - the watch experience. I didn't want yet another OLED battery sucking device to monitor, I wanted a timex with adjustable features that I could code or change on the fly. If Pebble dies, that's probably what I'll go back to.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThat's exactly the reason I've been a Pebble fan, I stuck to it over the years, and without it, I'll be off the wearables market - until someone else does a functional smartwatch, or I'll make myself a DIY one (after I figure out how to order two or three watch-sized e-ink screens cheap instead of doing a bulk order on Alibaba).
