Great to see incoming messages and phone calls hand free when busy with kids or at work. I can check if it's important enough to respond or not when busy. Love that it tracks my sleep and steps as well as gives me an alert about my activities. Love that I can control my music as well through the watch. Had a few issues at first but pebble support team was excellent and I don't have those issues anymore. Definitely worth the money.

The only issue I have is I thought I was buying a brand new one, but was sent a refurbished one. The tan band looks very dirty.

This is a piece of art by Pebble, so sad they sold themselves to Fitbit, the Watch is elegant, small and very useful. Everything you would expect from a Pebble Watch.

It's a watch that's smart

Up until today, I could have taken or left this watch. Then, I got a phone call while I was busy. The number came up on the watch, and all I had to do was press a button and the call went to voicemail. I didn't have to fish for my phone only to see that it was a junk call. It's such a small thing, and I'm sure that for others who already have an Apple Watch or another smart watch, this kind of glorious moment is old hat... but suddenly this watch became less of a "neat gadget" (and I love gadgets!) to something that could really be useful to me.
Pros:
- Lovely form. Granted, the bezel is pretty big, but if that nets me the nice slim/low profile silhouette of an actual watch instead of a wrist computer, it's a trade I'm willing to make.
- Small, like a normal watch. I am a 5'3'' petite woman and this watch doesn't look out of place one bit. It doesn't overwhelm my wrist and it was pretty easy to get used to wearing.
- Fun watch faces. I am kind of addicted to the watch face "store" in the pebble app. Looking forward to more choices as the Round gains steam.
- The leather strap is actually really nice. I've read a lot of reviews to the contrary, and honestly, I HATED the strap when I first started wearing it... but it softened up within a couple of days and is now wearing really nicely. It's soft and gets more comfortable every day. I'm looking forward to getting another one in a different color, and they are really easy to swap out. It's also not too long... I initially had a Pebble Time, but exchanged it for this one because the watch was just too big and the strap was uncomfortably long. This one is just right for a woman's wrist.
- REALLY FAST charging. I agree, the battery life could be a lot better... but I was also considering an Apple Watch, whose battery life isn't any better. I've decided that charging every day or so is no big deal... mostly because the watch charges really fast. I throw it on the charger while I'm washing dishes or taking a shower (when I would take it off anyway), and in 15-20 minutes, it's good to go for another full day.
Cons:
- Anemic app store... for now. Even in the last week, I've seen new watchfaces and apps pop up in the Pebble app. But there's a long way to go to match the quantity and quality of apps available for the square-faced Pebble Time and PT Steel. This is still a pretty new watch, and I'm sure this will continue to improve.
- Battery life. I've been charging once a day... but I've only had the watch for about a week, and I'm still fiddling with it a lot (changing watch faces, loading apps, etc.) instead of just letting it sleep peacefully on my wrist until I need it. I know this is draining the battery a little faster than normal, and I accept that. At least it charges fast.
- Keeping it synced with iPhone 6 has been a little wonky. The first few days I had the watch, I was running into a problem where my iPhone and the watch wouldn't recognize each other, even after pairing. I had to go into the watch and the phone, forget the connections, and repair from the beginning. This happened every day for a few days. I looked up similar problems online and tried resetting the network settings on my phone. I haven't had a problem since. (fingers crossed)
- Not water proof. I wouldn't have worn a Pebble Time in the pool either, but sometimes I worry about an unexpected splash at the sink or a spilled beverage ruining my watch (cuz I'm a klutz). Water resistance is nice, but a higher level of water proofing would be nicer.
- Still waiting on greater compatibility with iOS. For example, I would love to be able to respond to text with speech recognition like my Android-using colleagues. Also, as of this writing, the Misfit app does not sync with PTR. I have a Shine and like using the Misfit app... so I'm looking forward to getting that working properly.
To sum up... I like the watch a lot. I dinged one star because I think the regular price is way too much for what you get, especially compared to competitors... but I got this on a good sale and with reward certificates, so I don't feel guilty about overpaying. :) I like the level of what this watch does... I get notifications and vital info upon a glance at my wrist, but I'm not being constantly bombarded by info from a wrist computer. It's a watch that has some additional, helpful features, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Nice watch but screen choices need improvement. They look rather elementary but appreciate the capability to voice reply to text messages.

Bought this watch for wife and finds it useful and is slowly becoming more reliant on it. She has it paired with her Samsung 6s. She enjoys the feature that allows her to read her text even when her phone is charging and replying her voice.
