Customer Ratings & Reviews

This watch definitely helps my son see when he has an in coming call, he tends not to look at his phone very much it seems to be just a texting device!! He likes all the options and the price point is right . Very easy to sinc with android , very user friendly, great for when he goes on his runs to time himself and keep track of his progress. Great purchase

Color Red matches the picture. Bought it for a Christmas present, and my nephew loves it. He mainly used it to play games. Compatible for iPad. Notifies when he gets an imessage on his ipod. Just wish that it can answer calls and messages. Overall, good for a 8 years old boy.

I order my pebble since March and i'm still waiting. i decided to get it at BB i was the second person on line out of 25 people but only one was on stock. BB customer service was nice enough to check every BB in the area and located one about 45 min away. The watch was EZ to setup with my iPhone 5 running IOS 7. the only bug i have is sometime i lose bluetooth connection with out warning. there are times it wont let me control my music to the watch, or it wont show the call ID name. Yes theres a few bug but nothing is perfect. This is the only watch that work with Android and IOS. Im one of the Bless one that got a watch with no issue. i can shut it down with not problem i reset it twice. i make sure i order the screen protector so i don't get any scratch. so far i been bless.

I literally couldn't wait to get this watch - I preordered months ago directly from Pebble, and jumped at the first opportunity to get one faster through Best Buy when they became available. I've had this for a few weeks, and my experience has been mostly positive. I think this is a fun, useful gadget that will only get better as more apps and functionality are developed for it, but for now, I enjoy it because I utilize it in just about every way currently possible. I've been out on the golf course with it once - it failed after the first hole and I had to reestablish the connection to my phone, but this may be because I was trying to run multiple GPS apps at the same time on my phone. I've been jogging with it about half a dozen times - works great! Text messages show up on my phone... most of the time - it can't naturally display or alert you to MMS messages, but I think there's a separate app you can install which will allow that. And battery life is pretty much advertised, which is fine. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my purchase, but it looks like I'm one of the lucky ones, since a lot of reviews here seem to have received some duds.

I must mention that I noticed that the bottom right side button was completely missing after opening the box. There is a possibility that it popped off sometime after the initial box opening. I took it back to the store, exchanged, and all is good. I am impressed with the simplicity of this watch and the excellent battery life. Exactly 7 days ago, I bought this watch and connected to my iPhone 5S with iOS 7. The low battery indicator appeared today (7 days later) just as advertised. As far as notifications go, I seem to have received all phone calls, texts, and other various notifications with no issues. From a construction quality standpoint, the plastic is just ok and I hope the next version of this device will be a more traditional watch metal.

I bought this for my son as a back to school/beginning high school present so low price with durability and water resistance was important. The number of apps and functionality is great for a smart watch under $100. As a BestBuy employee I have had time to really play with all of our watches and I must say if you are ok with a black and white screen this watch is really cool. I personally own the Moto 360 and love it but for a new high school student really didn't want to spend over $100.

The basic Pebble does exactly what I hoped it would. It immediately notifies me of calls (with caller ID), emails, texts, sms chats, weather alerts and breaking news, and I can read the full text directly on my wrist. I've got it set up to alert me when there is motion detected on my Netgear home security cameras. It gives me my calendar agenda each morning and I can even send small pre-formatted texts directly from the watch. Finally, I've also got my grocery and task lists right on my wrist so I don't have to fritz with my phone all the time. It will save tons of wear and tear on my phone cover and I don't even have to take it out of my purse to see who's communicating with me. Apps are still in development and this is a very new technology for some used to purchasing their full-featured mobile devices. Sometimes it's glitchy, but I expected that. My Pebble works 99% of the time and looks smashing. I'm absolutely thrilled with the quality and design,

After trying several others brands and kind of smart watches, finally I found the one that accommodates to me. It is compatible with all type of brands (ios, android, and YES windows!) easy to set , cool designs and comfortable to wear.

I bought a Galaxy Gear 2 watch and returned it for this. That says a lot right there but I will elaborate on why. The Gear 2 was 300 as opposed to this watch which was 150. On top of that. The display is always on as opposed to the gear where you need to hit a button to show the display. The battery life is incredibly good considering the watch is always on. The batter life can easily get 7+ days and I am not exaggerating. I have done it multiple times. The Gear 2 has a 3-5 day battery life if you are lucky. Also on this you can get new watch faces and tons of apps where on a Gear 2 can't get as many apps. Believe me I have absolutely nothing against Samsung, I have a Galaxy S 3, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and a lot of other Samsung devices. All I am saying is that this is the absolute best smart watch out now and breaking the bank doesn't always buy the best product.

As a huge Apple fan, I had my heart set on the Apple watch for months. Ultimately the cost was what got me to second guess. After much research, I decided to give the Pebble a chance, and I have been very pleased. It is very simple, and does not have all the bells and whistles of the Apple watch, but I actuslly like it that way. This watch does what I ultimately wanted out of a smart watch: give me message and phone call notifications. The Pebble App Store is continually adding new apps that add to the functionality of this product. For those on a budget wanting a smart watch, the Pebble is an excellent choice. My only complaint is how easily the charger comes off the watch. You must be really careful when charging to make sure it stays attached. Overall, a great product that I would highly recommend.

I purchased my Pebble on July 2 and it arrived in perfect condition on July 5. I've had no screen issues. Bluetooth stays connected on iOS 7 beta 2. Notifications come through as expected. Battery life is terrific. Basically, I've had exactly zero issues. I would definitely recommend the Pebble to a friend or two... everyone I've showed it to has been super impressed!

Going on my first week with the Pebble. I will break up the review so it's easier to follow and will update if anything changes for the better or worse. Overall: It's a great smartwatch! I showed it to some of my geeky friends who criticized it for not doing more, but you have to understand what you're buying. I've been keeping up with this phone for about a year so I knew what I was getting. Features: First of all, this is a smart watch, not a smartphone replacement. It does the 'watch' job beautifully, with customizable watch faces (switching between watchfaces is as easy as pushing a button). Bluetooth connectivity is easy to setup, and I usually have had no problems keeping it connected to my phone. Waterproof (tested in the shower so far). Screen is easy to see, if it's too dark (at night), a shake of your arm will temporarily turn on the back light. Currently use of the accelerometer and magnetometer is limited until the full SDK library/functionality is made available, and I'm looking forward to that. Notifications on your wrist is awesome (you can choose which apps to get notifications for with 'pebble notify'). Design: I got the black version from Best Buy (wife did as well). It's pretty nice looking, not too big on our wrists (maybe a bit big for my wife, but not enough for her to care). There are good screen protectors available online, so we installed those (already cut to the shape of the watch) before we tested the manufacturer's claim of "scratch resistant lens". It's very lightweight, which is a watch requirement for me. My wife changed the watch band on her watch while we were at Target with no issues. Buttons are initially hard to push, but once you break them in they work fine. Battery: Only one week with it, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Initially I only charged it for 15 minutes out of the box before I decided I had to play with it. It came partially charged from the factory, and the 15 minutes extra made the battery go for ~2 days. I then full charged and I'm going on day 6 without a charge. No noticeable changes on my phone's battery either for keeping the bluetooth on at all times (HTC One X, jelly bean). Apps: There are several cool apps (cooler ones to come once programmers can use the accelerometers). I used the watchface generator online (very easy to use) to create my own watchface with my university logo (great for bragging at work). It comes built in with an alarm, which I use, I also added on Glance (shows a count of unread SMS, email, missed calls, current weather), a monthly view calendar, a stopwatch (not sure why it wasn't built in), pebble dialer (for enhanced call notification, accept/dismiss), and pebble tasker (read more below). It does also come built in with a music control app that works with several apps on your phone (pandora, google play music, etc), allowing you to skip, go back, pause/play. We also used runkeeper and it displayed the activity information on our watch automatically (pace, distance, time) without us having to look at the phone on our armband while jogging or puling the phone out of our wet-bag when we went kayaking. Other apps are out there, just look it up, but keep in mind that there is a limit of how many apps you can store on the watch at one time so choose wisely (built in ones + 8 downloadable? can't remember exactly). Automation via Pebble Tasker: Some of the things I've been able to do with my watch via pebble tasker (and Tasker on the android side): 1. Push a button to send myself an e-mail at work with current time and date when I walk in the gate. 2. Push a button to request my phone to read the last text message on speakerphone (or bluetooth headset/car speakers) mainly for when I'm driving. 3. Push a button to request a more detailed weather forecast for my current location to be sent to my watch 4. Push a button to help find my phone by changing the phone ringer volume and playing an alarm. 5. [Use your creativity for what you want/need.....]

I have wanted one of these watches since its kickstarter days. So once BB started to carry them I kept eyeing and talking myself out of the purchase until this past Christmas when it went on sale. My wife got it for $119.99 and had a $50 coupon from a previous BB promo so she picked it up for me. Let me just say after wearing it and using it, that I love having it on, I am not one to carry my phone with me while at home and with two small ones I need to keep my phone on silent for nap time. Now I never miss calls, texts, or e mail from my g mail account. Even while out in about my phone never leaves my pocket. Like anything new it needs more time (see what I did there…lol) to develop and as more apps and faces come out it will really prove its potential. Now I can honestly say since my wife got it for 79.99 that is really what it’s worth. It does look cheap and comes across like a toy and you will need a screen protector. (I just saw that they are releasing a premium model this year for $249.99 with a metal casing and gorilla glass) It is not worth $149.99 unless you just want to blow that just because, I would hold out for the next gen version, they have made me a believer and will defiantly consider upgrading when the price is right. This is one of those purchases where only you can determine its value, personally I would have been mad at my wife for paying the original MSRP but since she got it at a great price it was worth it to get my feet wet and makes me excited to upgrade after seeing how much it has made my life simpler in terms of never missing those important calls and text messages.

Since I've gotten my Pebble, I've come to realize how much time I spent previously just pulling my phone out of my pocket to check what it was buzzing about. The Pebble makes that unnecessary. In fact, I've turned off the ringtone and the buzzer on my phone altogether; all of my alerts now buzz on my wrist, where with a discreet glance I can instantly differentiate between an urgent message and another uninteresting email solicitation. If my phone rings during a meeting, nobody knows but me; and a glance at my wrist will tell me if I need to excuse myself to take the call, or hit a button to send it to voicemail. The Pebble isn't for everyone. If your phone buzzes less than once or twice a day, you may not see the point. But if you like being connected, like me, it really is a godsend. Beyond the notifications-on-the-wrist thing, this is just a fun watch to wear. There are hundreds of available watchfaces to choose from, and more being added daily; and you can easily design your own with or without a technical background. It's not fine jewelry, of course; it's obviously made of plastic, but I think it's elegant in its simplicity. And it's easy to class up the looks by adding a metal watchband and a "metallic" laser-cut skin, both available from a third-party company.

I backed this watch on Kickstarter and got it back in march. This watch has come a long way since it was first released to us backers. It's been such an awesome watch too. I can read my texts (and reply to them with the help of other pebble apps), scan my incoming phone calls, read emails (at least the first half to get an idea of what it is), change my watch faces, mute my phone, change music tracks, track my running, and so much more. I swear there are Newer things that you can do with this watch ever month. There are lots of apps in the Google Play store that give it more functionality as well. Granted I only paid $99 for mine, but I wouldn't mind putting down $150 for it because it's just so useful. The only downside I noticed was that it scratched a bit easy. I accidentally scuffed the side of mine up a bit because i ran my arm into a wall. Other than that it's great. Plus it's pretty much waterproof! Now I haven't actually dunked it in water, but water sure has gotten on it and nothing has happened to it. I encourage you to pick this up if you have the extra cash.

Had this watch now for 2 months and I'm still glad I purchased it. Set-up was easy on my Iphone 5. Notifications and calls work perfectly. Although, at times there is a glitch and you may need to re-sync with the Pebble. I did also try this watch with an Android phone (HTC One) and I would say it's a better experience with the Android phones. Battery life is 2 days but I'm assuming it's due to the number of notifications/calls that come through the Pebble. This technology is not for all, if you want it to work perfectly wait 2-3 years as the technology improves.

I love this watch. I did swap out the band which was very easy to do,because the one that came with it was too rubbery. I have read reviews about some notifications not working sometimes so people have returned theirs. Have you ever sent a text or email and been told the receiver never got it. Or someone sent you a text you never got. That is the way of technology and it is getting better ALL the time. I am getting my notifications except once or twice it didn't come through or I saw the indicator but never felt the vibration. This happens on your phone too. For the most part it works great. I saw where someone had a hard time reading the screen. It is really great outside. Sometimes in lower light inside it is as difficult to read as my invicta watch but with the pebble I just need to shake my wrist and the backlight comes on so I can see it fine. I can check the time even in bed with no problem. Several apps in the app store. I am using glance which shows time, date, weather,and all call, text and email notifications on the screen at one time. I drive for a living so everything is right there to tell me if I need to pull over and return a call or something. There is a glitch every now and then but that is true of my cell phone too. I say, get this watch!!!

I have had my Pebble since February 2013. It is probably the best investment I have made in technology so far. This watch has changed my daily routine. I used to pull out my phone hundreds of times a day. I may have missed an alarm because the speaker was muffled while in my pocket, or I thought I felt a vibration but it was only a ghost vibe. Now, I can keep the phone on silent when in a meeting, but the watch will vibrate and show me what my next appointment is, or if someone is calling me and if I need to take it or can dismiss the call. This is also a blessing while driving since I can see my watch much more quickly (and easily) than trying to take a glance at the phone's screen. The Pebble manufacturers along with the Pebble forum members around the world constantly develop newer and more attractive watchfaces and apps to utilize on the watch. I can control my music being played. I can control Tasker (an app to do certain tasks at certain physical locations or at certain times) through the Pebble. I can respond to calls with SMS messages while I am driving or in a meeting. I also get the latest weather information, missed SMS and phone calls along with the hour minutes and seconds all on the watchface of my choice. I also push notes and reminders to my Pebble watch so that when I am near the supermarket I don't forget to pick up the milk. It is only going to get better. Being able to purchase the watch through Best Buy is a major convenience in my book. I am thinking of getting a couple as gifts for my relatives. The price is that good in my opinion.

It works good for what it does. It can be laggy at times and there is a new color version coming soon, but if you want to save some money go for this one. They are still updating it.

I had the Metawatch before. I found it useful but it had very few apps and poor band. I got the Pebble without knowing much about it. To my surprise I discovered had tons of apps in their store and the ones I loaded all worked great including the map that uses gps which I did pay couple bucks I think. The battery lasts long time. Charging is easier than Metawatch. The watch band is more comfortable and watch is waterproof so can take swimming. Resolution is good for a watch like this. Even had an astronomy star guide app. The chess program even works good.
