Pebble 401BLR Brushed Stainless Steel SmartWatch (3.2 cm (1.26 inch) E-paper display incl. LED backlight) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Customer Review

Why I chose among the many SmartWatch offers just for a Pebble?
Simply because:

- I did not want a "Beam me up, Scotty" thing on your wrist, the display power saving reasons is almost constantly, and therefore quite strange looks on the wrist! The Pebble can already pass for a normal clock and the display can be read well even in bright sunlight.
- I do not want to constantly be worried if it has sufficient battery life is present. The battery of the Pebble keeps me on average 4 days
- It's an advantage if you do not take off in the showers, swimming and diving, the SmartWatch has - the Pebble is waterproof up to 50m
- The display is easy to read even in the sun
- You can also keep on the Pebble like a normal clock at night without at twist of the wrist the whole room is illuminated (many smartwatches can only be so turned off to save energy)
- I do not want a plastic piece on the wrist - the Pebble is made of steel (added: There are other Smart Watches, which are not plastic)
- The Pebble simple and easy to use with 4 keys is (up, down, select, and back)
- I can reliably receive all messages that I want: eMail, SMS, WhatsApp ..... and the message receiving no bother because the Pebble discreetly vibrates on your wrist.
- I can choose my smartphone itself, as the Pebble works with both Android and iOS. That's flexibility (as opposed to Samsung, their "top devices" just work only with Samsung smartphones). Today I use Android, iOS maybe tomorrow - and the Pebble then pulls up with around!
NOTE:
Some reviews can be seen that the Pebble or only faulty works with iOS. I just switched from an Android smartphone to the iPhone 6 and can confirm that the Pebble also runs on iOS. However, some adjustments must be made in the iPhone (eg, Bluetooth), the very well in the Pebble app under "Support" / "Frequently Asked Questions" are described.
- The Pebble store the highest number of free apps provides, inter alia, navigation with Google Maps, call control of Smartphon etc..Allerdings is the Pebble store very unübersichtlich.Es are but the Internet many recommendations for apps
- I can easily charge the Pebble: Magnetic charger cable to the Pebble and off you go (!)! A small LED on the clock information on the charge status. The charging time is the way a maximum of 2-3 hours. When I look at myself as other smartwatches where a plastic charger adapter must be clicked only cumbersome on the back of the SmartWatch .......

Why then a star deduction?
- The display of the Pebble is an Ink display - black / white with not too higher resolution. You can read all good, but it sometimes seems but a little pixelated. On the other hand: What brings me a great display that constantly turns off to save power and everyday needs to the grid?
- The number of additional apps / dials that you can load on the clock is limited to 8. But there are apps such as "Glance" or "cards" that combine several functions in one app and only occupy a place. With Glance You can also submit create its own dial
- The control of the clock with the key appears at first glance a bit antiquated. Cloudy, with a touch screen would be easier to use the SmartWatch, but then the screen would have to be bigger and you would have again a "Brummer" wrist.
- In dark rooms, the Pebble is a bit difficult to read. Although one can shake the Pebble, so that the light (short) is concerned, but the light duration can be set anywhere. Here I would have liked, for example a separate button for switching on the backlight, as in the old Casio watches to tell the time.
- Modern does not see the Pebble from! Somehow memories come up to the digital watches of the 80's. On the other hand: Who is already so a clock on your wrist!?! It is almost a unique selling point ()!

CONCLUSION:
Who especially looking for a reliable and watertight SmartWatch for message reception, which also looks like a clock and should have a long battery life, is well served by the Pebble Steel!
