sigh that is what I loved about Pebble
- wvenable 7y agoThe Pebble screen is hard to read in regular room light -- which, sadly, is the kind of light that most of us are in most of the time. When Pebble went under I switched to a Samsung watch with an AMOLED screen and the difference in view-ability is stunning.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoDid you have a Pebble Time or a Pebble Classic / Pebble 2? I agree with you with regard to the Pebble Time, but the Pebble 2's screen is fantastic. I can see the time even in an abnormally dim room, without the built-in light. (The trade-off, of course, is that the Pebble 2's screen is black and white, but I think that's fine on a watch).
- wvenable 7y agoI had a classic and a Time.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoAnd you found the Classic hard to read in dim rooms? I’m just surprised. I’ve admittedly never owned a Classic (only a Time and P2), but I thought the Classic was supposed to be almost as good as a Pebble 2. And I find my P2 as easy to read as a normal watch.
- wvenable 7y agoThe classic's display was pretty far from the surface of the watch and that hampered the display. Though it was easier to read than the Time. I expect both the Steel and the P2 are much easier to read than the classic.
- organsnyder 7y agoI've had a Pebble Steel (original), Pebble Time Round, and Pebble 2. The screens on all of them were very readable, IMHO.
- INTPenis 7y agoSo true. I'm sad to see so much resistance towards Pebble and e-ink in this thread. I'm still using my Pebble Time, I love it. I adore only having to charge it once a week and still being able to see the time on it. Just the fact that anyone can look at my wrist and see the time without shaking it or anything is worth much more than refresh rate and apps for me. All I need a smartwatch for is to see messages and notifications from my phone.
