After using a pebble time round since it came on the market, I really value the 4 physical buttons (back) on the left vs (up/select/down) on the right. I have never used a watch with a touch screen function, but I read oppinions of the watches made by fitbit after they aquired pebble, that it was a mix of touch screen and buttons.
letting this have both technologies while being open source leaves a lot of room for developers I would imagine. But leaning onto what I read about those 3button fitbit watches I hope there will be a future version with 4 buttons.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoWeirdly enough, I prefer the more "toy-like" Pebble buttons to the more "solid-looking" Pebble Time ones : they are easier to find without looking, and easier to press.
- ryukafalz 6y agoHaving had both, the Pebble buttons got a bit gummy over time whereas the Pebble Time buttons are still very solid. The latter seem more well put-together, IMO.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoYeah, I guess that was one reason for the change…
- jbj 6y agoAbsolutely, I have used pebble time round since it came out, no button issues
- Fnoord 6y agoThe Pebble 2 SE buttons are known to fade off eventually. There's a hardware mod (3D printer) which requires orig. Pebble Classic buttons to fix it. Unfortunately, I broke my Pebble 2 SE in the process. Its very delicate hardware. I ended up buying a Fossil Hybrid HR instead. Its a decent watch, just a tad expensive.
