    This is a great product that works well with android and iPhone. It is event slightly water proof. I have left it on in the shower by accident and it's still standing. The only downside is that its a black and white display, no colors. It will show all your emails, updates from apps, texts, phone calls and any other types of notifications you could imagine. Great smart watch, in my opinion the best on the market right now.

    For 69 dollars, this is an excellent basic smart watch. Very comfortable, get my texts, accept or decline my calls, skip songs. Great when driving or exercising. If your looking for all inclusive watch then look at the Microsoft band. Battery life is much better than most because of basic display.

    Pebble makes my smart phone more useful

    I've been using the Pebble for a little over a month now. It's paired with an Android phone running version 4.4.2 of the OS. Pebble is still struggling to get their latest software for Android to the point that it is frustration free. Even with the frustrations, I would highly recommend the product. The band is a standard size and can be swapped out. There are tons of skins to personalize/protect it. There is a strong Pebble community that is committed to answering questions and helping each other. There are lots of apps in the Google Play store that add to the usability of the watch as well for navigation, phone control, music control and fitness. The battery lasts for 6-7 days for me.

    Very simple and practical smart watch

    The watch does what I need it to and more. I just wanted to see my messages with out having to take my phone out all the time, but this watch also controls music, shows me the weather, shows me news head lines from RSS feeds, and many other things that developers are working on apps for. Overall this watch is great for the the minimalist; the screen is a simple ePaper screen, which preserves battery, and it doesn't have a camera or a microphone to take calls, like the higher-end Samsung Galaxy Gear, but it is cheaper, the battery life is 5 times better, and you can change the band to suit your style on the Pebble.

    Lackluster usefulness

    For the price you pay, I guess you can't expect smartphone level features. It's only a companion. If you want a watch and notifications, then this might be the thing for you. Bear in mind, however, that besides toggling music settings from the watch, there's a lot of things to this that require you to get third party apps to use the features better. Also, there's no real way to reply to messages, unless they are preprogrammed. I'm not going to use those though. The really useful feature I found about this watch was that it was waterproof. So nice to be able to check your watch for a notification and not worry about getting your phone wet or have to find it, for that matter. However, I ended up returning this device. It was around Christmas when I purchased it, and I couldn't justify spending the money I did on it.

    Excellent SmartWatch

    Definitely not for everyone. If your not "techy" stay away and wait for a few years while smart-watches get smarter. BUT, if you want to be part of the deployment of the smart-watch era and deal with upstart challenges (lack of apps, updates and compatibility issues) then this watch is for you. Pebble is easy to get up and running. I'm using an Apple phone I may switch to Android as the OS is more progressive. Notifications work great......just being patient for more apps.

    I bought this watch to give me notifications when I have messages on my phone but can't hear them while riding my bicycle. Works for messages, e-mail (user can select which accounts send to watch), calendar events, anything that has a notification option. Like the multiple watch faces. Like the plastic strap; can exercise in it without worrying about a leather strap. It's not an iWatch, but at $99, it was a no-brainer. Not 5 stars because I sometimes get alerts that turn out to be "bluetooth" warnings.

    It is a good entry-level smartwatch in terms of functionality and price. Pebble also provides a developer-friendly SDK so you can create own application even none of existing applications satisfy you. But it looks a little bigger than expected and is not easy to take off.

    I wasn't sure I liked the look of the pebble smart watch but after reviewing many different watches all over town decided this would work the best for me. I love the weather watch faces app. I love the aero track app for biking or running. I love that it will control my music as I exercise without having to get out my phone to change songs or volume. I love love love the Bluetooth capabilities!!! I agree with another reviewer that I wish pebble had spent a little more on styling as it looks like a toy. I went and got a pretty watchband to make it look better on.

    This is a great watch and has great battery life. Notifications are nearly instantaneous. My only real complaint would be the watch band. The stock band looks kind of tacky. Spend a couple extra bucks and put on a decent leather or metal band and you are good to go.

    Super smart watch. I love the notifications without having to check my phone. Great for meetings or when I'm on a job site. The only downfall is a rare but annoying disconnect that occurs with the Bluetooth

    Our son asked for an Apple Watch for Christmas, but of course we didn't think it wise to spend that much on a smart watch for an 8 yr old, although he's very responsible. This works perfectly and he loves it! It syncs well with his iPod, and he loves keeping an eye on his steps as well as playing a few games on it. He loves the vault, which holds the extra games that you can switch onto the watch. It will only hold 8 games at a time! Seems very durable. We also purchased the screen protectors, utilizing Best Buy's price match.

    I've used this watch everyday for the past 2 months and it has was worked well. I've added several apps: fitness, navigation and an improved notification app. I generally have my phone on silent and the watch lets me know when I have calls and txts that I would have otherwise missed. The screen scrambles occasionally, but it's not permanent and will recover if you navigate around a little or it may recover on it's own. It's a know issue. The battery lasts 4-5 days for me. It's construction isn't the greatest, but not bad for a first generation and now entry level product. I was skeptical about smart watches before getting this, but have found it useful. I still wouldn't spend a lot of money for one.

    amazing watch worth every dime. one of the few gripes i have is the screen, when wearing polarized lenses, kind of distorts and has a rainbow effect. other than that, its simple and does its job great. email, calls, texts and everything all on my wrist!

    I originally purchased the Pebble at launch, the features of the watch were limited because the API was not fully integrated with iOS. Now that iOS 7 has been released and the SDK has been updated for Apple's new operating system - all notifications work perfectly. Keep in mind, this is a device that is used for notifications only. It does not have a camera, or a speaker. For the price, it is definitely worth the value -- but the second generation should be very promising!!
