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
The editors didn't like
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

The Pebble Steel's beautiful stainless-steel design, combined with the new appstore, make it our favorite smartwatch yet. We love that Pandora, Yelp and ESPN have made their way to the Pebble platform. The ability to see all of your most recent notific...

Feels like a quality product; looks like a real watch, Access to the growing ecosystem of Pebble apps, Great battery life
Weight makes it less than ideal for running, Metal band won't look as a good on female wrists
With the Pebble Steel, the Pebble smartwatch is not only one of the most functional smartwatches available, it's also one of the most attractive.In its first 12 months of availability, the original Pebble has found its way onto over 300,000 wrists and bec...

Excellent design update makes Pebble look like a watch you'd wear on a date, Software updates bring new APIs for developers to build on, Capable app store, surprisingly full of great apps already, The already strong notification system sees better integra
The price might scare away thrifty shoppers, but they'd be best steered toward the original Pebble, The app store is a little rough around the edges, Some developers still think we want to type on our watches

It's much dressier than the original Pebble. You wear a nice watch to a wedding or a funeral, and you could wear this. Not the original Pebble, Swappable leather or metal bands, all you need is a little tiny screwdriver, Notifications on your wrist. Somet
It's the same Pebble in a new case. There actually aren't any other differences, besides a charging LED and a bit more memory, The Pebble App (for Android at least) is rubbish. It crashes often, loses visibility of the Pebble, and refuses to reconnect, Th
When I ordered the Pebble Steel, I was excited. I liked the original Pebble, and I wanted it in a fancier case. I watched the announcement at CES, and I was hopeful.That we ordered the Pebble in January, and it didn't arrive until April, didn't really hel...

"Wear it with a suit" pretty, Great iOS and Android performance, Simple mission
No notification customisation, No fitness applications, Outdated feature-set
If you want a smartwatch that doesn't look terrible and you want it right now, then sure. The Pebble Steel is pretty much the only option out there that combines the best notifications-on-your-wrist-ness of a smartwatch, the style of a legitimate piece of...

Abstract: In January this year, with much excitement, I posted up that I had ordered the new improved Pebble , the Pebble Steel , that was announced at CES 2014. The website mentioned that stock was limited and there would be possible delays, but I didn't expect it...

The Pebble Steel is a greatlooking wristwatch with topend construction. A growing list of apps can be swapped on and off of the watch, via easytouse iPhone or Android control apps. And, at long last, there's an app store.
Costs $100 more than the original Pebble despite offering the same underlying hardware. Only holds eight apps at a time. No microphone, speaker, touch screen, or color display. Fitness apps don't offer the same experience as a standalone device
Equal parts fashionable and functional, the Pebble Steel leaps to the top of the smartwatch heap, but does so by improving existing tech rather than adding something totally new....
