The Pebble Smartwatch connects to your iPhone or Android device via Bluetooth so you get the information you need exactly when you need it. Designed to make your life easier, Pebble provides personalized notifications and downloadable apps to keep you in the loop when you're on the go. You can also customize with watchfaces and apps to suit your personal style and interests. It features a long-lasting battery, user-friendly operation, and a screen that's readable even in bright daylight or underwater. Pebble comes with a USB charging cable and Quick Start Guide.

Thoughtful Engineering in a Wearable Design

Pebble has a straightforward, wearable design that lets you get the information you need in just one glance. The e-Paper display is easy to read even in direct sunlight so you can always see what's going on inside or out. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, Pebble won't weigh you down when you're on the move. Its 5 ATM salt or fresh water rating means you'll still be accessible if caught in a downpour or swimming, and the scratch-resistant display can take some hard knocks while keeping its good looks. The battery conveniently lasts five to seven days on a single charge.

Works With Your Busy Life

Pebble does more than just tell the time. It displays email, SMS, Caller ID, and other notifications from your favorite apps right on your wrist, allowing you to leave your phone in your pocket while you’re in meetings, social engagements, or on the go. Pebble alerts you with a silent vibration to incoming calls, meeting reminders, and notifications from apps like Facebook and Twitter. And because of its long-lasting battery life, Pebble blends in to your day-to-day activities without slowing you down while you're running, cycling, or just going about your busy schedule.


Choose from a variety of apps for fitness, music, and games.
Access Downloadable Apps

Pebble gives you quick access to a range of downloadable apps for endless combinations that suit your hobbies, interests, and lifestyle. Runners and cyclists can track performance with the popular fitness app RunKeeper. If you're ready to hit the links, the FreeCaddie golf app lets you see the distance to the green at over 25,000 golf courses. And since Pebble is an open platform, new apps are always in the works from our development community and partners, letting you take advantage of new watchfaces, games, and other innovations.

Easy-access buttons let you control music, alarm, and setting.
Easy Operation

Pebble has easy-access Up and Down buttons to scroll through watchfaces and menus. The Select button takes you to the main menu, which includes music control, alarm, and settings. A simple tap on the watch or flick of your wrist will illuminate the backlight. To charge Pebble, simply connect it to a computer using the included custom USB cable.

Access your favorite music on iTunes, Spotify, and Pandora while on the go.
Enjoy Your Favorite Music on the Go

Control your favorite music apps–including iTunes, Spotify, and Pandora–from your Pebble without missing a beat while running, cycling, or just playing music from a dock at home.

Customize the watchface and band to suit your style.
Make It Your Own

Pebble is easy to personalize to reflect your style and personality. Choose from a variety of downloadable watchfaces, and even swap in a standard-sized 22mm watchband of your choice for a custom look (sold separately).

Get notifications from Facebook and Twitter.

This watch is great! I love being able to try different watch faces every day. There is an app so that I can even create my own watch face. So I did. It was easy to load it on an use it. I added it to the others on my Pebble.I'm hard of hearing. Normally I need to have my phone on LOUD to hear it even with my hearing aids and sometimes I don't feel the vibrating alert on my phone. Other times I have my phone in the bedroom because I don't have it with me. Nevertheless, my Pebble will vibrate and tell me who is calling. Even 30 feet away. It is totally awesome. If I want to ignore the call I just click the button on the watch.For those of you that don't like the Pebble because they think that it looks cheap. Prior to the Pebble, all of my watches (except the one that I use to work in the yard) were fancy $500+. I now wear my Pebble everywhere. I meet with executives, and often I'll show it to them and next thing they want to know what it costs and...
I bought this watch via an auction web site, hence not a "verified purchase" here, but my comments may be useful.Although the watch appears to be fairly basic with its monchrome e-paper display and a few buttons (no touchscreen), these could turn out to be advantages. The low power display means that your chosen watch face can be on permamnent display for days -- just like a real watch -- on one battery charge. The simple button control may be easier than a touchscreen when you're out walking or running, which leads me to.....the fact that I am now doing some things with my phone that I neve did before, thanks to this watch. One of which is listening to music, because I can pause the current track without pulling the phone from my pocket and without therefore disrupting the earphone wire running up the inside of my shirt. It's a small thing, and maybe not a reason in itself buy this watch, but a surprising use that I have not envisaged.Obviously the...
WATCH THE SELLER. The max price of this watch should be $150. This is an item that resellers appear to purchase and then charge more than double the actual price for. If the watch is more than $150, just go to getpebble.com and buy direct.
