Customer Ratings & Reviews

I originally backed this product on Kickstarter. After receiving it and using it for several years, I purchased this one as a gift. This watch is one of the few that I know that works with both Android and iOS smart phones. The notifications (email, text msgs, calendar, navigation, etc) are the best part about this watch. Being able to control my Nest thermostat and Sonos speaker are bonuses.

Like many tween-age kids, our eldest is mad for technology. This watch serves as a great interface with his phone, with enough bells and whistles to satisfy him, without the ridiculous price tag of the long awaited i-whatsit. It is one of the very few watches that work well with apple phones and that, in itself, is enough for 3 of the 4 stars. All round solid product with no glitches.

Got this watch when it was on sale. It's a bit clunky, but at least it's waterproof and has a good battery life. You can't beat the price and value you get out of it. I personally wanted more out of my fitness/smartwatch such as a touch screen, better fitness tracking, etc. I ended up returning this and purchasing a Garmin Vivoactive instead (wanted the multi-sport function).

The Pebble watch works exactly how it is describe by the company. It works well with the functionality that is built into it. I wish the watch would allow me to reply to a text or delete an email right from the watch face. The screen can be seen in direct sunlight and the watch is waterproof which I think makes this watch heads and tails above other watches I have looked at.

There's no touchscreen (or even color), it's a little clunky looking, and you can't talk into it. But it's practically waterproof for most people, lasts a week on a charge, and the display is highly visible even in direct sunlight. If only the (hard plastic) screen didn't scratch so easily...

Have had the watch for about two months now, and it has helped me on a daily basis, especially after purchasing an alarm app for my daily alarms (reminders). Seeing texts and particularly caller ID has been very useful, particularly when driving (glancing at my watch rather than my cellphone). Being able to redial after a missed call (from the watch) has been great, as well as being able to send a short reply to texts (longer replies are possible, but involve using my cellphone's microphone, which isn't always convenient--for me that will probably be an occasional option). Lastly, it seems less rude when meeting someone to glance at my watch rather than looking at my phone if an important call (or text) comes in. FYI I haven't worn a watch for fifteen years or so since I didn't feel the need; now with this "smart" watch it feels strange if I don't wear it.

I love the Pebble watch as an intro. It does what a smart watch needs to do for me, it alerts me to who is calling, who is texting, and even espn alerts. I can't answer or text from my watch but i didn't want to. it's more for alerts and notifications. at the price its a great deal!

Excellent device that is much more affordable than an Apple Watch while giving many necessary functions. I really don't need it to do much. Give notifications, access some apps likes Evernote or Pandora and give me the time. The battery life is excellent, too.

i am pleased for the most part, i enjoy not having to have my phone in hand to see who's calling as well as the texts and emails... i do not like the dimmed lighting and it scratched easily too, it can be very hard to see but i would buy it again for sure...

I have had this watch for a while. Not bad for a basic smart watch. Decent apps and battery life. I currently use with my iPhone. I originally purchased figuring between getting notifications and being able to change the watch face not bad for $99. I have found that the screen is not always responsive. Many times I will glance at the time or attempt to and the screen will be scrambled. Scrolling up or down will resolve the issue but it has become annoying to not always being able to glance at the time and get an accurate reading. With the new color version and my experience I would just get an iwatch instead. If you are looking to just barely get a smartwatch then this is an ok watch. Anything more then that I would recommend just upgrading to the iwatch. I was hoping this watch would hold me over for a while but I will be moving on to a better smartwatch practically immediately.

The watch is a no frills device. I don't think it looks to bad and there are some customizable things you ca do with it. It works great for me when I am on a ladder or across the house and I get a message or call I don't have to worry about if it was important or not I just look at my wrist. It is also nice when I am driving because I can shuffle through my music without touching my phone. I also can answer a call on speaker phone with the phone on the dash and never worry about getting a ticket. I can set my phone to silent and still get a notification through the watch. Just a little vibrate nobody even notices or cares when I check my watch. For the price and usefulness you can't go wrong. Hope to see more devices like this in the future.

While this smartwatch met my expectations for a basic smartwatch it does have one irritating issue. It disconnects from the Bluetooth on the phone frequently and has to be re-paired with it too often. This happens even while both the phone and the watch are on my person. The battery life is great though.

I bought this as a companion smart watch for my phone and also for the running I was starting to do and the price was hard to pass up when compared to the others. I was under the impression for some reason that it had gps capability, not sure where I read that at. I played with the watch for about 2 weeks and got frustrated with it. The apps were rudimentary at best. The navigation worked once in a while and the running apps were mostly just stop watches for the phone. Alot of the apps had companion phone apps that cost money to get, because they would not run without them. I also kept getting errors and had to restart the watch for no reason. I took it back and I am looking at just a gps watch such as a garmin or the new garmin vivoactive that comes out in a few weeks. If I don't go that route it might be the LG G watch R or one of the new samsung's.

I was a bit Leary heading out to by a smart watch when the apple watch was looming overhead. I was pleasantly surprised however how useful this has become for me. Love having notifications. It's not overly complicated for less than $100 to get my texts and change the music while I run its well worth it.

This watch does exactly what it says it does- and not a thing more, and that's actually okay. The battery-life is great, the screen is always on, and it has a plethora of apps and watch faces. The reason I didn't give it five stars is because the screen has distortion that makes it difficult to view in certain lighting. I know that sounds strange, but I would compare it to when you're pressing on a LCD monitor, and see the distortion. It may just be an issue with mine, but I took one star off because I only have one watch to review/form an opinion on. This sounds like a terrible flaw, but it isn't noticeable very often. Again, I know that sounds strange, but it's hard to explain. There's more to love about this watch than hate, so I say give it a try! If you don't like it, you have a couple weeks to return it.

Good smartwatch. Great battery life. No problem with the screen under direct sunlight. Waterproof - can swim in it. Band is comfortable, and also easily replaceable. Software is under active development. Not as fancy as some other smartwatches, but can be good enough for some, if the price is right.

It was easy to set up in few minutes. I had tested everything such as email, phone call and text message sent to my smartwatch. It was amazing. I turned backlight off because of battery. It takes 4 or 5 days. It is not bad. My smartwatch has vibration which it gets little strong as well as phone's vibration still is weak. My phone had switched from vibrate to silent, so battery on my phone save in one day. Whenever you will turn off or on some apps notification from Pebble app, some apps will alert to my smartwatch. I love it. It's worth for me.

I, too, am a backer and have my red Pebble on my wrist. I am a business trainer and it is so very convenient to simply glance at my watch to see who is sending me an email, text, or caller ID for calls while I am working. No one knows that the quick glance at my watch has more purpose than simply reading the time. I love the look and I get compliments on the style daily. I have sent many a shopper online to order one for themselves. I use the Run Keeper app when I ride my bicycle and that is very nice. Not only to see my time and distance but I can see notifications and choose to address them or not while on a ride. I have banged my watch into a few walls or door frames but thankfully no scratches. I own 5 watches and this one is by far my favorite. There are many functions built into the watch that have yet to be exploited by unwritten apps so this watch will be in service for a long time. A grand slam in my book!

The Pebble smart watch provides everything you need in a basic device. Downloadable watch faces, text message notifications, calendar notifications, email notifications and even apps that let you read a portion of your emails and text messages right on the watch. Pandora app is my favorite. I can start, stop fast forward and skip back on music and podcasts, and I can even answer phone calls or send them to voicemail. All from the watch -- and without having to pull my phone out of my pocket!

I bought the Pebble Smartwatch because I wanted to be able to see my texts and notifications without having to pull my phone out of my pocket all the time. This watch is great, the battery lasts close to 7 days as long as you don't use a watch face that has moving animation. There are some really cool apps to go along with it but unfortunately there aren't very many and most are not free. I now use the watch as my alarm because the vibrations are strong enough to wake me up. Being water proof comes in handy as someone who works with fish tanks. And who doesn't want to read their texts while they shower? It's also the best priced smartwatch out there. Overall as someone who bought this watch just for the functionality and cool tech I am very very pleased.
