The editors didn't like
That oversized bezel makes the whole thing feel a little calculator-watch cheap. The glass on the screen also seems susceptible to scratches - I've put two (tiny) marks on the screen in under a week

Great battery life, Waterproof and well-suited for sports, Works with iOS and Android price
Not as fully polished as the Apple Watch or Android Wear, App ecosystem can be difficult to gauge, Not as unique as it was a year ago
At $199, the Pebble Time is a fantastic sports smartwatch for the buyer who prioritizes getting stuff done over having the flashiest-looking device on their wrist'...

Abstract: The Pebble Time is also less expensive than most of those. It's $200.* Color screen. Previous Pebble watches had a crisp black-and-white screen. This one shows a rainbow of 64 colors — sort of. More on this shortly.* A new operating system. As always, the...

Really great battery life. When it comes to smartwatches, less is definitely more. The timeline metaphor is simple and understandable. Smart straps are a smart idea
Turns out design does matter, Pebble. The Time's screen and hardware both leave a lot to be desired. The interface is cutesy at the expense of being useful. If you're an iPhone user, forget about it

Improved design, Display is always on, visible outdoors, Long battery life
Creaky hardware, Limited iOS capabilities, Limited voice control
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
Impressive battery life, Works on both Android and iOS, Always-on color e-paperdisplay, Display looks great under direct sunlight, Large app library, Unique Timeline interface reduces app clutter, Voice replies, Potential for more features via smartstraps
iOS functionality is limited, Voice function doesn't extend to Google Now or Siri, Can only choose one app for activity tracking, Pricey for what it offers
Pebble needs to distinguish itself from its Android Wear and Apple rivals in order to stand out, and it does so with the Time. Its color e-paper technology results in an always-on display that looks great under bright sunlight, plus battery life that las...
Excellent battery life, Always-on color display, Voice-to-text functionality, Instantaneous notifications, Comfortable, Lots of apps, Syncs with Android or iOS
App store needs curation, Little reason to upgrade
The Pebble Time brings a color display and a microphone to the company's winning formula, making it a solid choice for first-time smartwatch buyers...
Sharp construction and a thin, comfortable design; always-on screen; voice-dictation support in apps; works with iPhone and Android; clever at-a-glance timeline feature
Shorter battery life than previous Pebble watches; not water resistant for swimming; expensive for what it offers; doesn't run all Pebble apps and watch faces
Pebble's newest round, thin watch takes the Pebble formula and shrinks it to a stylish design, but gives up battery life and some app support in the process...
Solid, all-steel construction; boosted battery life should last over a week; 30 meters water resistant; always-on display; works with iPhone and Android phones
Design doesn't look much different than the less-expensive non-steel Pebble Time; can't make phone calls; fitness tracking is less accurate than rival wearables
Pebble's step-up all-steel smartwatch has added battery life and a more durable feel, but it's basically a tiny upgrade to the less expensive Pebble Time...

It's the Pebble to buy, Works well as a watch, Great watch faces
Not as versatile as Android Wear or Watch, Big, big bezel and scratch-prone glass, Expensive
If you want a Pebble watch, the Time Steel is the one to buy. For $US100, you get a watch that fixes everything wrong with the Time, in a far more attractive package. If you can't stomach the extra cash, I'd seriously consider buying the original Pebble i...
Abstract: The Pebble Time is much less like a miniature smartphone than other smartwatches, and this is certainly not a bad thing.For starters, the Time does not have a touchscreen. It has a pair of buttons that let you select options and back out of menus, and ano...
