It's puuuuurty. The Pebble Steel's main goal is just to look more respectable than the nerd-toy it is
And it pulls that off wonderfully. Between the two bands included
It's easy to find the setup that works for you. And on top of that
The nice-looking
Elegant
High-end design
Easy to use
Customizable watch faces
Growing app store and feature set

Most of my quibbles with the Pebble are small
But they're magnified all the more considering everything around them is so stupid simple and good. You can't customize how long a notification stays on the screen
You really do get battery life of 4days, even with a fair bit of use. Disabling the backlight seems to give a few more days, The new Android Wear integration means you can now reply to text messages directly from the watch with some stock answers or usi
Struggling to find anything worth mentioning really, The screen resolution is low (and monochrome) compared to the more expensive smartwatches and that does give it a retro look, but it's fine for my needs. I don't need to display images or videos or pl
Abstract: The Apple Watch is seen as the luxury smartwatch, but it faces some tough competition. The Pebble Time Steel, for example, offers a similar premium metal case but is just $249 on KickStarter ....

Best look Pebble yet, Color e, paper display, Extra, long battery life, Works with iOS, Android
More expensive, Too much bezel, Limited colors so far, Longer wait time
Pebble Time Steel is the grown-up version of the new Kickstarter-backed smartwatch with stainless steel casing instead of plastic. It'll cost you more money and you'll have to wait, but that's the price of looking debonair....
The Pebble Steel may not have a high-res and colourful screen and the square design may not be for everyone, but we think it's stylish and the display has a retro charm which also provides excellent battery life. A good alternative to Android Wear if that...

A classic, sharplooking design; works with iPhones and Android phones; screen readable in bright daylight; swimand showerfriendly; builtin pedometer for persistent fitness tracking; wide variety of quirky apps.
Older technology compared to competition; onboard storage limited to eight apps at a time; still requires charging twice a week; lacks heartrate monitor or more advanced fitness features
The competition is advancing fast, but the fashionable, functional, and more affordable Pebble Steel's conservative approach puts it at the top of the 2014 smartwatch heap....
Works with Android and iOS, Excellent battery life, Easy to use
Monochrome design, Only Cosmetically different from cheaper Pebble
Like the original Pebble, the Pebble Steel is possibly the most convincing smartwatch we've seen so far, thanks largely to its excellent battery life, straightforward functionality and growing collection of dedicated applications. It's a highly recommende...
Minor build flaws, Limited display, No Windows Phone support,
The Pebble Steel improves on just about aspect of the original - it's much better looking, feels premium in the hand and impresses with clever apps and a well thought out operating system. It may lack the specs of its Android Wear rivals, but the battery...
The Pebble Steel has really taken me by surprise, my previous experiences with SmartWatches had left me a little confused as to what the point was, the Steel however is more of an extension of the device itself as opposed to a weird little device in itsel...
