 Integrates with your life to connect you to what matters most.
View larger 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. With notifications, you can get discreet updates on the information that is most important to you. In addition to Caller ID, email, text message, and calendar alerts, you can choose to receive notifications from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more.  Compatible with iPhones and Androids. Pebble connects wirelessly via Bluetooth with iOS and Android devices. Pebble works best with iPhone – 4s, 5, 5c, 5s and iOS6 or iOS7 – or Android devices with OS 4.0 and up.

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... |

UPDATE: After 3 months of ownership, I must lower my rating. While the watch is good and has much potential, Pebble support is incredibly poor. I state that it is nonexistent below and I wish there was a better word for how nonexistent. I have entered three support tickets to Pebble support. NONE of the tickets has even been acknowledged. I almost regret purchasing the watch because of the frustration with the lack of communication.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.UPDATE: I have now had the Pebble Smartwatch for about 8 weeks. Here are my observations - firmware version 2. I would still purchase the watch today after my experiences.The good:The Pebble is mostly good at doing what it says. It can display any notification from my iPhone,... |
